PESSCL

PESSCL ( the p.e, school, sport, and club links strategy)

it was launched in October 2002, by the prime minister (government)
its aim was to increase participation of physical activity targeting 5-16 year olds.
initial aim was for a minimum of 2 hours exercise per week in the form of high quality P.E.

in July 2007 an extra £100 million was invested in PESSCL. ;
the aim was then for one hour of sport for each pupil per day in the form of high quality pe and extra curricular activities resulting in a fitter britain and a better sporting nation.
this would initiate;
- inter competitions and competition against other schools.
-more coaches in schools and communities
-a network of competition managers nationally
-a national school sports week whereby sports days etc are completed.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH THE 100 MILLION?
-organisation of competitions
-to fund further sporting opportunities for people in further education
-to experienced coaches to work internally within schools and externally for outside school times; to increase participation.
