Partnership Aims
School Sport Partnerships (SSPs) are responsible for driving the school element of the 5 hour offer. Our role is to ensure that all 5-16 year olds have access to high quality physical education and sport in a school setting and that all 16-19 year olds have access to high quality sport in a college setting. The SSP is also responsible for creating the demand for all young people to continue to play sport ina community environment beyond school or college. We are tasked with forging meaningful partnerships with community providers to ensure that the community sport offer reflects young people's demands and is appropriate and suitably engaging.
The core make up of the South Northants and Daventry SSP is the Partnership Development Manager (PDM) and Assistant PDM, working with a team of School Sport Coordinators (SSCos) who in turn work with a team of Primary Link Teachers (PLTs - primary school PE coordinators). In addition to these roles the SSP now have Further Education Sport Coordinators (FESCos) and Competition Managers (CMs). These roles have been included on a national level to support and expand the SSP's work.
