Delivering Competitive Sport for all Young People

The West Wiltshire School Sport Partnership strives to support and develop competitive opportunities for young people of all abilities.

Access to regular and appropriate competitive sport is crucial to the development of every young person and we are determined to extend the breadth and depth of competition in every school. Over the coming years, the partnership will continue to support schools in developing further high quality opportunities in:

• Intra School Sport
• Inter School Sport

The partnership will work together with local school sports associations, Wiltshire and Swindon Activity Sports Partnership, National Governing Bodies and the Youth Sport Trust to implement the new "School Games" to compliment all the outstanding competitions currently taking place.

A menu of opportunities will be available in the summer 2011.

Delivering Leadership and Volunteering

Young people from across West Wiltshire SSP have for the last 8 years been developing their leadership skills and supporting their schools and communities through active volunteering.

With the onset of London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games it is imperative that the inspiration of the Games coming to the UK is used to encourage and support more young people to lead healthy active lifestyles.

Through the leadership programs delivered in a number of primary schools and all secondary schools we have the opportunity to use young people to inspire their peers, as well as increase the opportunity for more young people to take part.

The Youth Sport Trust, Young Ambassador Program will also form a large part of the Partnerships leadership pathway, with representatives from each secondary school making up the Partnership Leadership Academy.
