the establishment of two Specialist Sports Colleges and two School Sports Partnerships, including appointment of a School Sport Co-ordinator in every family of schools
new and improved PE and sport facilities for many schools through Space for Sport and Arts, New Opportunities Fund, Private Finance Initiative and other projects
a wide range of Continuing Professional Development opportunities for school staff leading to increased confidence in the delivery of Physical Education and school sport
a revised Education Swimming Package for primary schools
increased Out of School Hour opportunities for school children in many schools
more than 35 PE Co-ordinators gaining their Subject Leaders Award
most secondary schools offering Sports Leadership Qualifications for young people aged 14 to 19
improved sporting links with Derby College, University of Derby and many quality sports clubs, and
a wide range of coach education courses available to schools, clubs and community organisations.
