The Value of Sport

Research Strategy
Sport England Research Team has developed a strategy for research for 2005-2008 which outlines our priorities for the future. More


Project Evaluation

Sport England has developed a 3-tier approach to the evaluation of projects:

Tier 1 - Basic Evaluation aims to establish value for money and benchmark performance.

All projects funded to deliver sport and active recreation, and those that concentrate solely on coach development or volunteer support, are required to report every quarter on a minimum of one and a maximum of five standard Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). The number of KPIs depends on the type of project. To view a step-by-step guide to the data that is required, click here.

Tier 2 - Focused Evaluation develops case studies to establish what works, identify good practice and foster learning and improvement. Click here to view completed case studies.

Tier 3 - Experiment and Innovation will test new ideas and challenge conventional wisdom with carefully designed interventions.
