Physical Education
Physical activity is a major part of the National Physical Education, School Sport and Club Links Strategy (PESSCL). All schools within Nottinghamshire are now involved with a School Sport Partnership, which is an element of the PESSCL strategy.
The aim was for 85% of children to have access to two hours per week of high quality PE and school sport by 2008. This target was achieved a year early and now the ambition is for each child to have access to five hours a week by 2012.
Five hours high quality PE and school sport should be made up of two hours of physical education within the curriculum and three hours offered on school sites or in the community. This will contribute to the Public Service Agreement (PSA) target on obesity 'halting the year on year rise in obesity among children aged under 11 by 2010.'
