School Sports Partnership

The School Sports Partnership Initiative is one element of the Government's Physical Education, School Sport and Club Links Strategy (PESSCL).

School Sports Partnerships (SSP's) are families of secondary and primary schools that work together to enhance the quality of sporting opportunities, through the curriculum, Out of School Hours Learning, inter-school competitions and school to club links.

A typical School Sports Partnership will consist of:

A Partnership Manager (PDM) - a full-time role usually based within a sports college. They manage the SSP and develop strategic links with key partners in sport and the wider community.

Up to eight school sports co-ordinators (SSCO's) - An SSCo is based in a secondary school and concentrates on improving school sport opportunities, including out of hours school learning, intra and inter-school competition and club links across a family of schools.

45 primary and special school link teachers (PLT's) - PLT's are based in primary and special schools and aim to improve the quantity and quality of PE and sport in their own schools.

In Hampshire there are 10 School Sports Partnerships covering all schools in the County (excluding Portsmouth, Southampton and Isle of Wight).
