Gove-ism

• Freedom

• No prescription

• No direction

• No measurable outcomes

• BUT OFSTED will comment (No detail here yet)

“With this new approach to sport, we can create a culture in our schools that encourages all children to be active and enjoy sport, and helps foster the aspirations of future Olympians and Paralympians.”

“We have listened to teachers, and to Ofsted, who have said that sport provision in our primary schools is far too often just not up to scratch. That is why we are putting money directly into the hands of primary head teachers to spend it on improving PE in their schools.”

By providing this money and reintroducing competitive sport back into the heart of the curriculum we can achieve an Olympic legacy in our schools we can be proud of.”

“If you leave this to 18,000 head teachers to decide how to spend this money I think some will make great choices and I think many might not.”
