2012 OLYMPIC LEGACY

‘5 hours physical education and sport per week for every young person’

The Government’s long term vision is to increase the amount and quality of PE and sport in schools and colleges. The PE and Sport Strategy for Young People (PESSYP) in the run up to 2012 is part of the Olympic legacy. The aim is for every child to have access to 5 hours of high quality PE and sport per week (3 hours for 16-19 year olds).

Our Target

To create a new ‘5 hour offer’ for all 5-16 year olds. To continue to increase the number of 5-16 year olds taking part in at least 2 hours high quality PE and sport at school each week and create opportunities for them to participate in a further 3 hours each week of sporting activity, through school, voluntary and community providers; and create new opportunities for all 16-19 year olds to participate in 3 hours each week of sporting activities through their colleges or in local clubs.

The PE and sport strategy expectations are for 40% of 5-19 year olds to take part in 5 hours of PE and sport per week by 2010-2011.
