Building Schools for the Future PE & Sport Briefing
Sixty delegates from the south west attended Sport England’s BSF event at Plymouth Pavilions on 14 October 2008. The aim of the event was to give an up to date picture of where PE and Sport (curriculum and wider community) is within the BSF programme. BSF is likely to impact the South West region very shortly as local authorities have been asked to submit expressions of interest to join the programme. Follow the links to download informative and thought provoking presentations where available given by Mark Perkins (Partnerships for Schools), James Coulton (Plymouth City Council), Dave Stubley (Rugby Football Union), Annetta Minard (Oakmead Technology College, Bournemouth), Steve Kibble (Devon County Council), Bob Sharples (Sport England), Colleen Bevan (Bristol City Council) and Paul Walker (Penryn Community College). Find out more about BSF.

Sport Packs and Comparative Profiles
Sport England has published detailed information packs on 41 sports, which bring together data from the Active People Survey, the Taking Part Survey, and Sport England's market segmentation. Each pack includes information on the following: participation rates in each sport across key demographic groups, participation by region, the profile of sports participants, the segments most likely to participate in the sport, young people's participation (11-15 year olds), seasonal variation in participation, drop off in participation by age, latent demand, growth by sport, and participation in organised sport. Click to view sport packs. The packs have been prepared primarily to support the National Governing Bodies of Sport in the development of their 2009-2013 plans but provide a detailed overview of sports facts relevant to all in the sports sector. Sport England has also provided comparator profiles of sports participation (where possible - for some sports, there is insufficient sample), which bring together all of the data in the packs. This enables comparisons to be made across different sports. Information can be used to provide a rationale for focusing on particular areas and for developing and agreeing interventions in partnership with Sport England to support key Strategic Outcomes - Grow and Sustain.
