    Report of the Assistant Director Education School Improvement to the meeting of the Children’s Services Overview and Scrutiny Committee to be held on 15 April 2014. Subject: AY Sport in School Summary statement: This report outlines the national and local policy context for PE and Sport in schools over the last few years and how schools and the local Authority have responded collectively to these changes. Director: Paul Makin, Portfolio: Assistant Director Education and School Children and Young People Improvement Report Contact: Overview & Scrutiny Area: Phone: (01274) 385676 Children’s Services E-mail: [email protected] 1. SUMMARY 1.1 This report outlines the national and local policy context for PE and Sport in schools over the last few years and how schools and the local Authority have responded collectively to these changes. 2. BACKGROUND 2.1 In 2010 the Department for Education (DfE) announced that the National Strategy for PE and School Sport was to be discontinued and that any associated national funding would cease by July 2012. Some of this grant aid was later reinstated to fund a network of School Games Organisers although at a reduced level. For Bradford this reduced the grant aid from £1.5M per annum to £120,000 per annum. In Bradford, the nationally funded School Games Organiser network comprises five School Games Organisers, each providing three days per week of support to school games activity plus other related initiatives. The grant payable to each of the five local partners is circa £24,000 per year. The activity of three of the five School Games Organisers has been enhanced due to local initiatives with financial support from individual school budgets.
