Abstract
This report evaluates the effect of the School Sport Co-ordinator programme (the programme) since its introduction in autumn 2000. The programme is part of the national physical education (PE), School Sport and Club Links strategy led by the Department for Education and Skills (DfES) and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) to widen participation, raise standards and improve the quality of PE and school sport. The objective of the strategy – a joint DfES/DCMS public service agreement target – is to ensure that by 2006, 75% of 5–16 year olds in England are spending a minimum of two hours each week in high-quality PE and school sport within and beyond the curriculum. The background to the strategy and programme is summarised in the annex at the end of this report
