Physical Education & Sport Strategy for Young People (PESSYP)

The new PESSYP document has replaced the PE, School Sport & Club Links Strategy (PESSCL), which we have been working with for the past few years. The new document moves things on from the old 2 hour of PE & School Sport per week target and promotes the governments ‘5 hour offer’ for all young people.

As a Partnership we shall now be looking at ways of extending sporting opportunities into the community to ensure that 5-16 year olds can access up to 5 hours of Sport each week (including school based activities) and that 16-19 year olds have the opportunity to access 3 hours each week.

There are 10 new strands from the PESSYP document:

• Club Links
• Coaching
• Competition
• Continuing Professional Development
• Disability Sport
• Sport Unlimited
• Gifted & Talented
• Infrastructure
• Leadership & Volunteering
• Swimming
