School Sport Partnerships To Increase participation For
Young People
The Madeley Court and Phoenix School Sport Partnerships are
working with all primary, secondary and special schools in the
Borough to meet the government's objective of increasing
participation in high quality PE and School Sport.
The partnerships are led by two Partnership Development Managers,
Jamie White (Madeley Court) and Alison Day (Phoenix) who is
responsible for ensuring that the government's targets are met.
They are supported by a team of School Sport Co-ordinators and
Primary Link Teachers who will enhance the sporting opportunities
for the young people in their schools.
The funding that the partnerships receive is being used to develop
a range of initiatives that will increase participation in high
quality PE and School Sport. These include releasing teachers to
attend training courses and deploying specialist coaches to work
alongside teachers to increase participation in high quality
curriculum PE and Out of School Hours Learning.
