Creating a network to Deliver and Develop High Quality' Sports Opportunities to Young People
Under the new PESSYP strategy, School Sport partnerships (SSP) will remain the key driver for young people's 'High Quality' sports opportunities within and beyond the curriculum.
SSP's will retain a responsibility for increasing participation opportunities, supporting and development and delivery of high quality physical education and school sport, but will also become much more outward looking, to ensure that appropriate pathways exist, or are being developed, for young people to access high quality sporting opportunities beyond the school gates. This will be done alongside many community partners, including local authority services, county sport partnerships (CSP), voluntary agencies and National Governing Bodies (NGBs).
Further Education Sport Co-ordinators (FESCo)
Since September there are 377 FESCos working in their respective FE Colleges that are now part of the SSP infrastructure. Their initial roles and responsibilities are to increase the opportunities and the number of 16-19 years olds in their own FE College participating in sport, competing in sport and leading and volunteering in sport.
Rawmarsh SSP have FESCo's based at Thomas Rotherham College (Matt Telling), Dearne Valley College (Lee McMahon) and Rotherham College of Arts and Technology (Susana Lastra).
County Sports Partnerships (CSP)
CSPs will play an enhanced role in the delivery of the 5 hour offer. CSPs will lead the delivery of the Extending Activities work strand in addition to their current role within the Step into Sport work strand.
