New money to get children active
17th July 2019
The government has just announced £2M to create 400 new after school satellite clubs and a This Girl Can workout resource for teenage girls. This is being delivered by Sport England and is the result of the Active Lives Survey which can be found here.
The Department for Education has also committed £2.5M in 2019-20 to deliver extra training for PE teachers and other school centered initiatives. Their press release can be found here.
This is what the Sport England plan outlines:
- An additional £2 million investment from us to create 400 new after-school satellite clubs to get more young people in disadvantaged areas active
- Department for Education (DfE) committing £2.5 million in 2019-20 to deliver extra training for PE teachers, help schools open their facilities and weekends and holidays, and expand sports volunteering programmes
- A new Inspection Framework, developed between Ofsted and DfE, that will come into effect this September and see schools expected to provide children with a broad, balanced education, including opportunities to get active during the school day and through extracurricular activities
- A series of regional pilots running from September 2020, joint-funded by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and DfE, through us, to trial innovative approaches to getting more young people active – particularly less active groups such as girls and those from disadvantaged backgrounds
- Schools and sports clubs will work together to share their facilities and expertise, giving more pupils access to character-building competitive sport and volunteering opportunities. They will focus on ensuring boys and girls have an equal and coordinated offer of sport, competition and activity, including modern PE lessons and access to high-quality clubs and competitions after school and during weekends and holidays
- More detail on the actions in the plan will be published later this year
The DfE press release states more details will be published later this year.
