Our work can be divided into a number of key areas:
1. Improving the PE experience for every young person
We focus on helping schools to reach out to every young person by redesigning PE and school sport to engage those not currently engaged as well as driving improvements in providing a meaningful PE experience for young people with disabilities.
2.Using PE and sport to inspire learning and achievement
We support the 501 Sports Colleges and Academies in England to use their specialism to inspire learning and achievement across the whole schools. By placing Sports Colleges at the centre of the School Sport Partnership infrastructure, many schools are using PE and sport to raise standards in English, maths and science as well as improve behaviour, attendance and aspirations.
3. Enabling every young person to enjoy competition and providing support to the most talented
We work with National Governing Bodies of Sport and schools to widen the opportunity for young people to compete within, and between, schools. We have also been helping to put intra-competition back at the heart of schools.
4. Coaching and Volunteering
We work to create the next generation of volunteers as coaches, officials and team managers. It is a vital piece of our work to ensure that young people taking part in sport are fully supported by well trained, inspiring and passionate sports coaches.
Our Young Ambassadors programme encourages young people to take on leadership roles while promoting the importance of heatlhy and active lifestyles and encouraging participation in school sport and PE. It focuses on the importance of the Olympic and Paralympic Values, which are imperative in everyday life.
5. Connecting school and club sport
We work with schools and National Governing Bodies of Sport to establish new clubs on schools sites. This is not only addressing accessibility issues for young people (cost, location and culture), but it's also helping to 'open up' schools to their local community and providing access to potentially under-used facilities.
