PESSYP

The new PE and School Sport Strategy (PESSYP) expresses the commitment to improve the quantity and quality of PE and Sport undertaken by young people aged 5-19 in England. PESSYP builds on the success of the PESSCL strategy for 5-16 year olds. Building on this success we want to go further and ensure that sport becomes a natural part of every young peron's life, not only during their school, but also into their college and working lives.

The PESSYP Strategy will be informed by the views of the young people themselves to help us create attractive, innovative opportunities for them to get engaged in sport and clear pathways for them to pursue their chosen activities. Our aim is to create a world class system for PE and Sport for Young People, which will stimulate and increase their participation in sport and sustain it.

The PESSYP strategy will see an investment of £755 million over the next 3 years to deliver the work announced by the Prime Minister in July, 2007 and it is now set out in PSA 22. There are key roles for the infrastructure of the specialist sports colleges, School Sport Partnerships, National Governing Bodies, County Sports Partnerships and other community providers to ensure all 5-16 year olds have access to 2 hours PE and 3 hours beyond the curriculum and 16-19 year olds have access to an additional 3 hours of sport. This is oftern refered to as the five hour offer.
