PE and sport strategy for young people (PESSYP)

The PESSCL Strategy is now the PE and Sport Strategy for Young People (PESSYP) often referred to as the five hour offer.

By 2011 the ambition outlined in the Strategy is to offer all children at least five hours of sport every week, comprising:

At least two hours high quality PE in the curriculum (five to 16 year olds).
The opportunity for at least a further three hours sport beyond the school day delivered by a range of school, community and club providers (five to 19 year olds).

To support this an additional £100m (over three years) has been secured for:

The addition of FE Sports Co-ordinators linked to School Sport Partnerships
The completion of the roll out of Competition Managers linked to School Sport Partnerships
Top up grants for School Sport Partnerships to pay Coaches
Multi sport clubs for children with special needs linked to School Sport Partnerships
Funding for Sport Unlimited for semi-sporty young people
