St Albans & Harpenden School Sports Partnership

PESSCL

Harpenden & St Albans Schools Sports Partnership is part of the national PESSCL strategy announced by the Prime Minister in October 2002. The PE, School Sport and Club Links (PESSCL) strategy is backed by the Governments commitment to invest £1.5 billion pounds to transform PE and school Sport.

Harpenden and St Albans Schools Sports Partnership, based at Roundwood Park and Nicholas Breakspear schools, will be working together not only to increase and number of sporting opportunities available for young people across the area but also to make them more accessible.

Through the programme of sustainable improvement the partnership will focus on the needs of Harpenden and St Albans schools and surrounding community by developing a localised plan looking specifically at:

· Strategic Planning

· School Liaison

· School to Community

· Out of School Hours Activities

· Coaching and Leadership

· Raising Standards
