School sport

The structure of school sport in the UK

School sport is coordinated by The Youth Sport Trust and managed by School Sport Partnerships (SSPs) who are groups of schools working together to develop PE and sport opportunities for all young people. 

A typical partnership consists of:

• A partnership development manager (PDM);
• Up to eight school sport co-coordinators (SSCos);
• 45 primary and special school link teachers (PLTs).

See more information on the School Sport Structure including the aims, roles and responsibilities.
