In
September the council will launch another programme to boost school
sport. The three-year school sport co-ordinator programme, run
with £488,244 government funding, will employ a partnership
development manager and two sports co-ordinators to work with
the council and local schools to provide training and development
for PE staff in secondary and primary schools; further develop
less established sports, such as hockey, table tennis and tag
rugby, and open up school sports facilities for wider use by all
schools and the community.
