PE and Sport Strategy for Young People

PESSYP

The PE & Sport Strategy for Young People (PESSYP) often referred to as the 5 Hour Offer is now in place. By 2011 the ambition outlined in the Strategy is to offer all children at least 5 hours of sport every week, comprising:

At least 2 hours high quality PE in the curriculum (5-16 year olds)
The opportunity for at least a further 3 hours sport beyond the school day delivered by a range of school, community and club providers (5-19 yr olds)

To support this an additional £100m (over 3 years) has been secured for:

The addition of FE Sports Co-ordinators linked to School Sport Partnerships
The completion of the roll out of Competition Managers linked to School Sport Partnerships
Top up grants for School Sport Partnerships to pay Coaches
Multi sport clubs for children with special needs linked to School Sport Partnerships
Funding for Sports Unlimited for semi-sporty young people
National School Sport Week w/c 29 June 2009

The national strategy is being delivered through 10 interlinked work-strands, for more information on any section please click on the title.
