Monitoring and Evaluation of School Sport

Introduction to Sport England:

We're striving for an active nation where everyone can take part in sport or activity, regardless of age, background or ability.

That might be through traditional team sports like rugby and netball. But it could just as easily be a gym workout or going for a run. Being active is a key part of maintaining physical and mental wellbeing. And it also benefits local communities through economic and social regeneration.

As well as supporting people who already enjoy regular sport, we're also fighting to get people who are less active exercising more regularly. Groups that are traditionally less active - disabled people, some ethnic groups, women and parts of the LGBTQ community - are a core focus of our work.

We also support talented athletes who show elite potential in their chosen sport, and our ambition is to open up these opportunities to people from all background.

As a government body, we also invest in and provide expertise in creating superb sporting facilities across the nation.

School Sport is an important element of our Children and Young people work within Sport England's strategy Towards an Active Nation and seeks to ensure that young people have more positive attitudes towards sport and physical activity i.e. to impact on young people's levels of Physical Literacy.

The School Games, which is funded by Sport England and delivered by the Youth Sport Trust and Active Partnerships, is designed to deliver competitive school sport to all young people. A network of School Games Organisers (SGOs) and Active Partnerships work alongside the Youth Sport Trust in delivering three distinct elements of competition ranging from intra, inter school and sub regional activity, in addition to the National Finals, which is supported by National Governing Bodies.

Sport England is seeking to appoint a provider to assist in the monitoring and undertaker an independent evaluation of the School Sport programme.
