Salford School Sport Partnerships
Each partnership receives a government grant to fund:-
A Partnership Development Manager (PDM) full time.
Eight part-time (0.4) School Sport Co-ordinators (SSCo) based at each Secondary School. They all work Friday and one other day on behalf
of the partnerships.
Up to 12 days release for every Primary Link Teacher (PLT) at £140 a day.
Top-Up Swimming money to help meet the 25metre target for Year 6 pupils.
There is no activity budget.
Salford School Sport Partnerships
Finding the money
Both partnerships raise an activity budget of around £30,000 from school contributions.
Any additional monies come from sponsors or partner agencies.
This funds all current activities, coaching programmes in school, professional development, competitions, transport, etc.
This works out at roughly £2.30 for every young person annually.
Salford School Sport Partnerships
The PESSCL* Strategy began in 2002-3 to ensure that all young people aged 5-16 were able to participate in at least 2 hours per week of high quality PE and Sport at
school.
The PSA target for 2008 is that 85% of all pupils meet this ‘Two Hour Target’. This target was met one year early with 86% of all pupils nationally meeting this target.

*PESSCL = PE, School Sport, Club Links Strategy
PESSCL in a Salford Context:-In 2005, only 50% of pupils in Salford met the PSA target.
In 2007 this had risen to 78%.This represents one of the largest ‘value added’ increases
nationally over a two-year period.

Note: Salford was one of the last authorities in the Country to have School Sports Partnerships, having a Phase 9 (2005) and Phase 10 (2006) partnership.
The PESSCL Strategy is now known as PESSYP (PE and Sport Strategy for Young People)
with a new ambitious 2010 target of pupils participating in at least 2 hours per week of high quality PE and Sport at
school and up to a further 3 hours in a school or community setting.
This is known as ‘The Five Hour Offer’.

How does the work of the School Sport Partnerships contribute to this ‘Five Hour Offer’ in a nutshell?
SSP’s advocate 2 hours PE for all, supported by Salford Healthy Schools, SCL’s School Team and School Improvement.
SSP’s innovate with additional and new activities to enhance the sporting provision for all, contributing to the Five Hour Offer.
SSP’s provide professional development opportunities for both adults and young people to up-skill and capacity build.
Salford School Sport Partnerships
Partnership working is a key element in successes so far:
Salford School Sport Partnerships

funded by The Big Lottery Fund and Healthy Schools.

including ‘Dance Mats’.

Support is essential
Advocacy at all levels on the importance of 2 hours Curriculum PE for all, and in helping schools move towards the Five Hour Offer.
Additional funding is needed to sustain successful programmes and enhance the current provision, such as the multi-skills programme.
Salford School Sport Partnerships
This whole agenda is vital to the future health and well-being of the young people of Salford.
School Sport Partnerships are central in delivering key elements of the government policy as we strive to build a
world class system for PE and School Sport, help tackle rising obesity levels and improve the self-esteem and achievements of the young people in our care.
We can only succeed with the help and support of key partners.
