LINKS School Sport Partnership - Sheffield
 
The LINKS School
Sport Partnership located in Sheffield was
initially
established under the name All Saints School Sports
Co-ordinator in
September 2001 as part of the Governments PE,
School Sport and Club
Links (PESSCL) strategy. The partnership
is still very much a part of
All Saints Catholic Sports
College, but was relaunched as Links in
December 2006. The
decision to rename the partnership came as a
result of an
expansion of schools and a desire to create a new identity
that
reflected the diverse range of schools within the
partnership.
The overall objective of
the partnership is to increase the percentage of 5-16
year old school children in England
who spend a minimum of two hours each
week on high quality PE and school sport
within and beyond the curriculum to 85%.
Links School Sport Partnershipis made up of 52
schools all based around 10
secondary schools, including most of
the Special Needs schools within Sheffield.
There are
school sport coordinators based in each secondary school that assist
in
providing and developing high quality PE and increased opportunities to
take
part
in school sport and out of hours learning, both within the secondary
school
and its primary feeder schools.
All Saints College is our hub
school and partner secondary schools include:
Abbeydale Grange, Bradfield
High, East Hill, Notre Dame, Park Academy,
Springs Academy, Stocksbridge
High School and Talbot Seconday.
In the last few years we have focused on
supporting schools to increase the amount
of provision within the
curicculum and opportunities for leadership and competition.
We are
primarily focused on supporting the development of high quality
physical
education ensuring students of all abilities are able
to access a range of physical activities.
