School Sport Partnerships

The driver of the PE and Sport Strategy has been the creation of a network of 450 School Sport Partnerships (SSPs). These are families of schools that come together to enhance sporting opportunities for all. The partnerships are usually made up of a Sports College, eight secondary schools and around 45 primary or special schools clustered around the secondary school and the College. Every maintained school in England is included.

 

Throughout the country the infrastructure comprises:

 

• 501 Specialist Sports Colleges
• 450 School Sport Partnerships
• 450 Partnership Development Managers (PDM)
• 55 Assistant Partnership Development Managers
• 3239 School Sport Co-ordinators (SSCo)

• 18,128 Primary Link Teachers (PLT)
