Physical education is a key priority for the Government. Targets indicate that 75% of pupils should take part in 2 hours of physical activity per week rising to 85% by 2008. At the 2005 national survey, Knowsley stood at 67%. We expect to reach the national target this year.

The School Sports Partnership (SSP) is one area of the P.E. and School Sport / Club Links Strategy (PESSCL) which has been set up to meet these targets.

Knowsley has two School Sport Partnerships which are based in two specialist sports colleges - Brookfield and Bowring.

The partnerships work towards increased participation in the following:

• High quality physical education
• High quality out of school hours learning
• High quality informal activity
• High quality competition and performance
• Improved attitude, behaviour and attendance in PE and whole school
• Increased attainment and achievement in and through PE, OSHL and sport
• Increased participation in community based sport and improved quality of community life.
