Transforming PE and Sport through BSF

Partnerships for Schools, together with the Youth Sport Trust and Sport England, have jointly recognised the value that PE and Sport can add to the Building Schools for the Future Programme.

These three organisations have appointed three PE and Sport Advisers to work strategically with key partners, PfS colleagues and local authorities participating in BSF.

For Wave 5 authorities onwards, it is now a requirement to establish a PE and Sport Stakeholder group to contribute sector-specific advice to their BSF process.

The resources on these pages are primarily aimed to support PE and Sport Stakeholder groups but will also be of interest to anyone involved in BSF or an equivalent programme.
