A strategy for the delivery of high quality physical education and school sport in Hampshire 2009 – 2012 1

Vision statementFor all children and young people in Hampshire to experience world class high quality physical education (PE), school sport and physical activity that will lead to lifelong participation.

This strategy will aim to:

improve health and well being•

provide high quality opportunities and outcomes•

assist each individual to reach and fulfil their potential•

encourage community involvement and responsibility•

promote lifelong learning, active participation and performance•

raise achievement and support excellence.•

PE and sport have an important role to play in raising standards and narrowing the achievement gap. Work undertaken by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) and others has shown how placing PE and sport at the heart of a broad and balanced curriculum can improve attendance, behaviour and attainment. PE and sport build self-esteem, teamwork and leadership skills. PE and sport are also important because they can help build an inclusive society, raise levels of participation in sport after young people leave school and positively affect the health of the nation.

A strategy for the delivery of high quality physical education and school sport in Hampshire 2009 – 2012 3

IntroductionThe Government’s aim, set out in the Public Service Agreement (PSA) target 22 indicators, is to ensure that all 5-16 year olds should have access to two hours of high quality curriculum PE and three hours beyond the curriculum, per week. Also, 16-19 year olds should have access to three hours of sport outside of the curriculum - collectively known as the ‘Five Hour Offer’. This commitment is expressed through the Physical Education and Sport Strategy for Young People (PESSYP) 2008, which replaced the Physical Education School Sport and Club Links Strategy (PESSCL). The unprecedented level of resources and funding made available by central government highlights the need for a strategic approach in order to reap the benefits of this investment and reach the ambitious targets PESSYP has set.

This Hampshire strategy provides a framework for the consistent delivery of high quality PE and school sport in Hampshire and supports improvements in the delivery of teaching and learning that will promote participation, progress and performance. It complements the delivery of PESSYP, supporting the aim that all young people aged 0-19 years have the opportunity and access to a high quality PE and school sport programme. It further supports all young people aged 5-16 having access to five hours of sport within and beyond the curriculum and all 16-19 year olds in full time education having access to three hours of sport beyond the curriculum. This strategy recognises the importance of the 2012 Olympics as a driver for participation, volunteering, officiating and the development of excellence, thus fulfilling the 2012 legacy.

The strategy is a working document that aims to support colleagues in their day to day advocacy of physical education and the important part it has to play in the development of young people into the citizens of tomorrow. Finally, it assists individual schools and School Sports Partnerships (SSPs) in their own development and sustainability planning for the future.

The needs of young people are at the centre of the strategy and the delivery of high quality PE is paramount to achieving the strategic aims. The following work strands facilitate the delivery of the strategy:

Teaching and learning •strands and continuous professional development (CPD)

Club links •

Coaching •

Inclusion•

Competition •

Extending activities •

Gifted and talented (G&T)•

This strategy supports:

• Hampshire’sChildrenandYoungPeople’sPlan(CYPP)vision and aims

• PSAtarget22

• LocalAreaAgreements(LAA)2,4,5,7and8

• the10DepartmentforChildren,SchoolsandFamilies’(DCSF’s) high quality PE outcomes.

Hampshire’s CYPP vision and prioritiesThe visionMaking Hampshire a better place for children and young people, where all of them, including those who are vulnerable or disadvantaged, have the best possible start in life and are supported by the whole community to reach their potential.

Hampshire Children’s Trust is committed to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and to the Declaration on Child Well-being in the UK, which aims to improve the well-being of all children and young people.

The prioritiesThe CYPP identifies six priorities for all those working with children and young people in Hampshire.

1 Reducing the incidence and impact of poverty on the achievement and life chances of children and young people.

2 Securing children and young people’s physical, spiritual, social, emotional and mental health, promoting healthy lifestyles and reducing inequalities.

3 Providing opportunities to learn that raise children and young people’s aspirations, encourage excellence and enable them to enjoy and achieve beyond their expectations.

4 Ensuringthatchildrenandyoungpeoplearesafeandfeel safe, enabling them to build resilience and personal confidence.

5 Providing vocational, leisure and recreational activities that provide opportunities for children and young people to experience success and make a positive contribution.

6 Removing barriers to access, participation and achievement, and not tolerating discrimination and abuse.

What the CYPP priorities mean for local communities Supporting stronger, safer and healthier communities through closer working with community and •voluntary organisations, recognising their role and vital contribution to community engagement and well-being.

Protecting vulnerable people and tackling crime and anti-social behaviour to ensure that areas are •safe and welcoming to people of all ages and backgrounds.

Promoting healthy lifestyles and reducing health inequalities.•

Maximising well-being, maintaining and improving quality of life and working to ensure that •everyone has the opportunity to be active in their community.

Providing access to community based learning and services and offering support when needed.•

Working with rural communities to deliver the vision outlined in Hampshire County Council’s rural •delivery strategy (www3.hants.gov.uk/rh/rural).

Enhancing the quality of place, making Hampshire a good place to live by protecting local •distinctiveness and diversity, providing excellent facilities, respecting Hampshire’s heritage and proactively planning for the future.

Developing children and young people’s sense of belonging by encouraging them to contribute to, •and take responsibility for, their local community.

BackgroundOverall, Hampshire’s image is one of affluence, success and prosperity. The challenge is to make this image a reality for all. There are areas where socio-economic deprivation is intense, with all the consequences of social exclusion made more extreme when set against a background of general advantage. There are also groups of vulnerable and under-achieving young people scattered across Hampshire.

Hampshire is a county of higher than average educational performance. In 2008, average point scores forlevel3qualificationswere796.4percandidates(739.8nationally)and210.8perentry(209.4nationally).AtKeyStage4,53.84(47.6%nationally)achieved5+A*-CgradesincludingEnglishandmathematicsand67.2%(65.3%nationally)achievedalevel2qualification.

Every Hampshire school is now part of one of the 10 School Sports Partnerships (SSPs). Each SSP has:

• aspecialistsportscollegeasitshub

• aSchoolSportsCo-ordinator(SSCO)foreachschoolwithsecondaryagepupils

• aPrimaryLinkTeacher(PLT)foreachprimaryschool

In addition, there is a team of eight Competition Managers (CMs) working across the geographical county of Hampshire, with a further team of 10 Further Education Sports Coordinators (FESCOs) working with post-16 young people in further education.

National trendsCommenting on national trends, the 2005/2008 Ofsted report on PE noted that:

‘The PESSCL/PESSYP strategy is having a major impact on all aspects of •provision for PE, particularly in primary schools. The strategy’s various strands have widened participation in after-school and community clubs’ sports activities, improved leadership of the subject in primary schools, increased opportunities for professional development and encouraged collaboration.’

‘PE has contributed effectively to the five Every Child Matters outcomes, •particularly ‘being healthy’, ‘enjoying and achieving’, and

‘making a positive contribution. However, despite the improvements in PE, it has yet to have sufficient

impact on tackling the health issues of childhood obesity’.

Ofsted recommended in this report that ‘funding

should be continued for PESSYP up to and beyond 2012 to ensure that

schools have the capacity to sustain and build on the improvements they have introduced’

Therefore, it is of paramount importance for all partners in Hampshire to continue to work in a sustained and coordinated manner that results in positive outcomes for young people.

Partnership workingEffective partnership working at a local and county level is essential in ensuring the delivery of high quality PE and school sport in Hampshire. The partnership network in Hampshire, and its further development, is the key to the success of this strategy.

Specialist sports colleges are at the hub of the Government’s strategy to enhance opportunities for young people to participate in a wide range of sports, as well as raising the standards of teaching and learning in PE and school sport.

Specialist sports colleges position PE and sport at the centre of the curriculum, using it as a vehicle to develop and improve learning opportunities for all. SSPs are groups of schools working together to deliver PE and sport opportunities for all young people.

A typical partnership consists of:

• PartnershipDevelopmentManager(PDM)

• uptoeightSchoolSportCo-ordinators(SSCOs)

• 45PrimaryandSpecialSchoolLinkTeachers(PLTs)

• FurtherEducationSportsCo-ordinators(FESCOs)

• CompetitionManagers(CMs)

A PDM is 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.

A SSCO is based in a secondary school and concentrates on improving school sport opportunities, including out of hours school learning, intra and inter-school competitions and club links, across a family of schools.

PLTs are based in primary and special schools and aim to improve the quantity and quality of PE and sport in their own schools.

Physical Education and Sport Strategy for Young People (PESSYP) The Youth Sport Trust (YST) plays a central role in supporting the DCSF and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) in the delivery of the PE and Sport Strategy for Young People. The overall aim of the PE and Sport Strategy is to enhance the take-up of sporting opportunities by 5 to 16 year olds.

Theaimwasfor85%ofchildrentohaveaccesstotwohoursperweekofhighqualityPEandschoolsportby2008.Remarkably,thistargetwasachievedayearearly,asthe2007SchoolSportSurveyfoundthat86%ofyoungpeopleweretakingpartinaminimumoftwohoursperweek.

Now the ambition is for each child to have access to five hours a week by 2012. This should be made up of two hours of physical education within the curriculum and three hours offered on school sites or in the community.
