What are specialist Sports Colleges?
As well as improving PE and sport within school for all their pupils, Sports Colleges are playing a major role in their communities by:
- working with nearby schools to promote PE and sport and to raise standards of teaching and learning.
- extending the use of their facilities for community use
- nurturing the needs of talented young performers through masterclasses and partnerships with national governing bodies of sport
- enhancing existing community programmes
