Who are Norfolk School Sport Partnerships? Schoo
l Sport Partnerships bring together schools
across Norfolk to develop Physical Education (PE)
and school sport opportunities for young people.
Working in partnership with Norfolk LEA we are
committed to increasing levels of participation,
both in PE and through a range of sporting
opportunities before, during and after the school
day. There is also considerable evidence to
demonstrate that sport can help raise levels of
attainment and achievement across the curriculum,
and locally we have been using sport as a tool to
improve whole school standards. 8 SSPs across the
County, which one do you feed into?
