The partners involved in the development of the national school sport competition framework are: the Department for Education and Skills; the Department for Culture, Media and Sport; the Youth Sport Trust; the National Council for School Sport; Sport England; county sport partnerships; national governing bodies of sport; national school sports associations; and school sport partnerships and their schools.The national governing bodies for the following sports were consulted in connection with the national school sport competition framework: angling; archery; athletics; badminton; basketball; bowls; canoeing; cricket; cycling; equestrian; football; golf; gymnastics; hockey; judo; karate; mountaineering; netball; orienteering; rounders; rowing; rugby league; rugby union; sailing; squash; swimming; table tennis; tennis; triathlon; and volleyball.School sport competition development bulletins provide regular updates of latest developments concerning about the national school sport competition framework. These can be found at www.teachernet.gov.uk/pe. A copy of the latest bulletin will be placed in the Libraries of both Houses.The following school sport partnerships have been sent grant letters authorising them to put in hand arrangements for appointing competition managers: (Cornwall) Callington; Mounts Bay; Penryn; Poltair; (Greater Manchester) Brookway; Our Lady’s; Tameside; Wright Robinson; (Hampshire) Bridgemary; Hamble; Henry Cort; Toynbee; (East Sussex) Beacon; Dorothy Stringer; Hailsham; William Parker; (West Yorkshire); Oakbank; Priesthorpe; St Mary’s; and Thornton. All of these partnerships are in the process of appointing competition managers which will be in place by September 2005.It is for individual School Sport Partnerships to decide precisely how they deploy the £37,500 grant for managers. In doing so, they will take into account local needs and circumstances. However, as a rough guide, my department has suggested that a salary range of between £25,000 and £28,000 would be appropriate. The remainder of the grant will then make up a modest budget which the competition managers will use to help them plan, manage and implement a programme of inter-school competition within their School Sport Partnership and to reach out into national governing body school sport competitions.

To be awarded qualified teacher status, all trainee teachers must: demonstrate that they understand their responsibilities under the special educational needs (SEN) code of practice; know how to seek advice from specialists on less common types of SEN; and be able to differentiate their teaching to meet the individual needs of pupils, including those with SEN. These requirements are further reinforced during induction.
Once qualified, teachers can extend their knowledge and understanding as part of their on going in-service continuing professional development. This can range from awareness raising to securing specific qualifications.
The department has produced a training CD-ROM Success for All: an Inclusive Approach to PE and Sport. This resource includes a series of filmed case studies and supporting material designed to help teachers in primary, secondary and special schools to include disabled pupils in all areas of the PE curriculum.
Teachers also operate within a national curriculum framework that includes a statutory statement on providing effective learning opportunities for all pupils.

To reinvigorate competitive school sport further, the Prime Minister announced, on 14 December 2004, that new competition managers would be added to school sport partnerships. From September 2005 there will be 17 in place, 45 by September 2006 and 90 by September 2007. Subject to the next Spending Review in 2006 the eventual ambition is to have one manager per school sport partnership by 2010.
The overall role of the competition managers will be to manage and co-ordinate the planning and implementation of the national schools competition framework through a programme of inter-school competition within and across school sport partnerships. They will also reach out to local, regional and national governing body competitions. Each competition manager will be an integral part of their school sport partnership and be managed by their partnership development manager. In contrast, the role of the school sport co-ordinator is, principally, to help their school and their primary school partners to ensure that their pupils spend a minimum of two hours each week on high quality PE and school sport. As part of this process, they provide enhanced out of school hours sporting opportunities, increase participation in community sport and develop and strengthen links—particularly between key stages 2 and 3.
For the first wave of competition managers partnerships will receive a grant of £37.5k which will cover the salary of their competition manager and also provide a modest budget. The posts are designed to be three-year appointments.

The Ofsted report of 16 May identifies 55 London schools as "failing", these figures refer to the number of schools requiring special measures in August 2004. None of these schools were specialist sports colleges or sports academies.
Despite the raising of the bar on standards, the number of London schools which can be classified as "failing" has since fallen sharply, from 55 to 39. The table below lists the schools identified in the Ofsted report; schools highlighted have since been removed from special measures.
Standards in London schools have improved rapidly since 1997 with GCSE results in London overtaking the national average for the first time in history in 2004. In 1997, 36 of the 402 mainstream maintained schools with results published in the performance tables had 70 per cent or more pupils achieving five A* to C, with 94 having less than 25 per cent achieving this standard. In 2004 of the 403 published schools 92 had 70 per cent or more pupils achieving five A* to C, with 17 having less than 25 per cent achieving this standard.

The Government's ambition is to offer all children, by 2010, at least four hours of sport every week, which will comprise at least two hours of high quality PE and sport at school and, in addition, the opportunity for at least a further two to three hours beyond the school day. This will be delivered by a range of school, community and club providers.
The national PE, school sport and club links strategy—which went live in April 2003—is investing £978 million between 2003–04 and 2007–08 to deliver the ambitious school sports public service agreement target—to ensure 75 per cent of school children by 2006, and 85 per cent by 2008, spend at least two hours each week on high quality PE and school sport—and move towards the 2010 ambition. In addition, £686 million lottery funding is enhancing school sports facilities. In total, this means that over £1.5 billion is being invested in school sport in the five years up to 2008. Funding arrangements beyond 2007–08 will be announced following the 2006 Spending Review.

This Government give great priority to the physical and recreational needs of our children as a fundamental part of their education and development. Building and renewing secondary school sports facilities are included in the Building Schools for the Future (BSF) programme.
Central government capital funding for school buildings in 2005–06 is over £5.1 billion, including over £2 billion allocated to the first wave of BSF. BSF aims to transform secondary schools so that they are fit for the teaching and learning needs of the 21st century, including for sports and physical education. Decisions on investment will be made locally by the authorities which have been allocated funding as they develop their projects, in line with their priorities, which will reflect local need and government policies. In time, all secondary schools in England will benefit from BSF.
The balance of capital funding, about £3 billion in 2005–06, is mainly allocated to schools and authorities by formula, so that they can make investment decisions locally, in line with the priorities of their asset management plan. Again, these can include the improvement of school sports facilities, and we give guidance on good sports facilities for schools. We provide additional capital grant for schools which wish to develop sport as a specialism, where there is local matched funding. From 2008–09, we are providing additional funding for primary schools, to support their improvement, which will include sports facilities.

Most secondary schools in England will receive capital investment through the Building Schools for the Future (BSF) programme. Within the 39 local authorities in waves one to three of BSF, approximately 525 primary and secondary schools have had funding committed from the Big Lottery Fund for physical education and sports facilities. Not all of these schools will receive BSF funding as the programme includes only secondary schools.
For BSF wave two authorities, where business cases have been developed to a more advanced stage and specific schools identified, 17 secondary schools in the programme are also in receipt of Big Lottery Funding.
