In parallel, a new PE and school partnership sport model will deliver targeted support for teachers, schools and local providers to make this a reality, monitoring whether it makes the difference. That takes up the point made by the noble Lord, Lord Addington, on which I have previously agreed with him, about the importance of linking schools to other local sports provision and sports teams in order to develop young people’s interest, not just at school but hopefully sustained throughout their lives. This is practical action already being taken forward in collaboration with the sector.
