Immanuel College has been part of the Bradford East Sports Partnership for 4 years. The partnership is part of a nationwide initiative called the PE and Sport Strategy for Young People (PESSYP), formerly known as (PESSCL).

The PESSCL Strategy went live in April 2003. Between 2003 and 2008 the Government has invested £1.5 billion to deliver PE and Sport for young people through the strategy.

The strategy has been developed by, and is the joint overall responsibility of, the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS).

The strategy’s overarching aim is to create a world-class system for PE and sport for children and young people. This aim will support delivery of PSA 22 which will “Deliver a successful Olympic Games and Paralympic Games and get more children and young people taking part in high quality PE and sport.”

My work as a Sports Coordinator in Immanuel College is part of the East Bradford Sports Partnership along with SSCo’s from Hanson, Carlton Bolling, Laisterdyke, Challenge and Feversham Schools. Our aim is to raise attainment and participation in school sport and links with sports clubs in the local area.

Mr T. Hemingway (PE Teacher and Sports Coordinator – Immanuel College)
