  increase participation in all age groups from
  5-16 years.
• More x3 principle (My way of remembering)

  children, more often
• The initial aim was to get 2 HOURS of high
  quality PE and school sport both in and outside
  the curriculum- is this a reality?

  day for every school child.

  chance to specialise in sport (as well as other
  things)

  providing high quality teaching, facilities and
  community stability for all.
