Our long-term ambition is to offer children 4 hours of sport a week by 2010.
This will be made up of 2 hours of PE and 2 hours of sport beyond the school
day. Study support will of course have an important role in this. The PE, School, Sport and Club Links (PESSCL) strategy provides the framework for developing sports activity programmes both during and outside normal curriculum time. The substantial funding available through this strategy and the support from School Sport Partnerships will enable all schools, primary, secondary and special, to include a lot of sports within their study support programmes.
Participation in sport contributes not only to the health and fitness of our young people but also to their wider learning and achievement, through its effects on their attitudes, motivation, attendance at school and readiness to learn.
