Better Sport in Education

BETTER SPORT IN EDUCATION

The aim of this framework is to provide structure to the development of better Sport in Education within the county of Surrey. The Framework will help support the delivery of the PE, School Sport, Club Links (PESSCL) strategy, National and regional initiatives such as Healthy Schools and provide direction for the delivery of key targets in Sport England's Regional Plan for Sport, Mission: Possible.

The framework recognises the current good practice that is being delivered by existing partners in the county but challenges them to define their roles and what they have to do to achieve Surrey's vision. These partners within the Active Surrey Sports Partnership include sports coach UK, Sport England, Youth Sport Trust, Local Authorities, National Governing Bodies of Sport (NGBs), Surrey LEA (FourS), School Sports Partnerships/Sports Colleges, Schools, FE/HEi as well as Partnership core staff.

This Framework outlines where Surrey aims to be with regards to Sport in Education by 2009. It gives examples of how this can be achieved through joint partnership working and shared planning which will be a key part of delivering Surrey's strategic objectives. It has the following underlying aspirations:

To promote high quality PE and School Sport across Surrey, in line with the National PSA target
To increase the number of people receiving training inc coaches, leaders and teachers
To increase the number of sports participants from under-represented groups
To increase the number of young people volunteering in sport
To increase the number of people participating in sports and physical activity by 1% year on year.

This framework recognises the need for all partners to play their part in its delivery. It acknowledges the need for improved strategic co-ordination of school sport, education and training across the county and acknowledges the need for more effective communication and commitment to partnership working and cooperation, by all those involved.
