Physical education and school sport

Introduction

The Council offers a range of sporting activities for young people aged 10 to 16 years at venues across Calderdale.

PE and school sport events, competitions, meetings, training courses and opportunities are organised by a wide range of partners across Calderdale including Hipperholme and Lightcliffe High School and Sports College, Brooksbank School Sports College, SSCO (School Sports Co-ordinators), Leisure in Action and the Calderdale School Sports Association.

Through the School Sport Partnerships young people in Calderdale are able to extend their physical education experiences in activities such as Street Dance, Circus Skills and Frisbee. These types of activities are engaging those who do not enjoy traditional team sports.

In addition, Continued Professional Development in Physical Education continues to be offered through the Local Delivery Agency, with training opportunities being accessed by over 300 staff working in and with schools during the last academic year.
