Specialist Sports Colleges

The Sports College initiative is part of the DfES 'Specialist Schools' programme, in partnership with the Youth Sport Trust.

"Sports Colleges will raise standards of achievement in physical education and sports for all their students across the ability range. They will be regional focal points for excellence in PE and Community Sport, extending links between families of schools, sports bodies and communities, sharing resources and developing and spreading good practice, helping top provide a structure through which young people can progress to careers in sport for pre and post 16 year olds and develop the potential of talented performers".
