CHILDREN & YOUNG PEOPLE

County Durham Sport strongly believes that sport and physical activity can have an overwhelmingly positive impact on the lives of children and young people. We help to coordinate and support a range of projects and initiatives aimed at increasing physical activity levels of children and young people, as well as seeking to influence policy and systems change on a local level.

Our work with schools includes planning and supporting the delivery of the County Durham School Games, coordinating Opening Schools Facilities funding locally on behalf of Sport England, as well as facilitating the annual Active Lives Children and Young People Survey. We also offer guidance and advice to schools around their Primary PE and Sport Premium funding.

The Active 30 Hub contains a range of resources that schools, parents and community groups can access to help support the delivery of physical activity to children and young people of all ages and abilities.

We have also worked with local community groups and organisations to encourage children and young people to develop leadership and volunteering skills in physical activity.

ACTIVE LIVES: CHILDREN & YOUNG PEOPLE

It is important for County Durham Sport to understand children and young people’s attitudes and behaviours towards physical activity as this allows us to shape appropriate opportunities for them to become more active.

PRIMARY PE & SPORT PREMIUM

County Durham Sport are working closely to support primary schools to ensure their Primary PE and School Sport Premium is used to appropriately fund improvements to PE and School Sport provision.

COUNTY DURHAM SPORT COMMUNITY

 

ACTIVE 30

The Government Childhood Obesity Plan has set out the ambition for all children to achieve 60 minutes of physical activity every day, with schools being responsible for delivering 30 of these active minutes and parents also being responsible for 30 active minutes

DISABILITY PROVISION

At County Durham Sport, we believe that all children and young people should have the opportunity to participate in physical activity whatever their ability. We are dedicated to improving the access to physical activity for all children and young people with a disability across County Durham.
