School Sport Partnerships
School Sport Partnerships (SSPs) are groups of schools working together to develop PE and sport opportunities for all young people.
In Tyne & Wear we have ten school sport partnerships.
A typical partnership consists of:
A PDM is a full-time role usually based within a Sports College. They manage the SSP and develop strategic links with key partners in sport and the wider community.
An SSCo is based in a secondary school and concentrates on improving school sport opportunities, including out of hours school learning, intra and inter-school competition and club links, across a family of schools.
PLTs are based in primary and special schools and aim to improve the quantity and quality of PE and sport in their own schools.
