We were selected by Sport England to be in Phase 5 of the
programme with a February 1st deadline for the bid and a
September 2002 roll out. We were successful in this bid
and have been awarded £428,00 over 3 years, the partnership
have agreed to contribute 10% which is Approx £14,500 per
year. It is a national initiative, which the secondary
schools that were invited to be involved, were extremely
positive and determined that we should not miss out.
They themselves were selected on the deprivation
indices. This is a really exciting time for sport and PE
and there is now lots of data proving that a good sports and
PE programme within a school has great effect in improving
attitudes and attainment; the SSCO initiative should be a
powerful vehicle in raising standards.
