What are our priorities and how are we doing?

Sport England’s Strategy sets out Sport England’s goals for 2008-2011.

These goals are:

Grow

• One million people taking part in more sport

This target accounts for 15% of our investment.

We are measuring how much progress we have made towards this goal through the Active People Survey.

Sustain

• ·More people satisfied with their sporting experience
• ·25% fewer 16-18 year olds dropping out of at least five sports

These targets account for 60% of our investment.

We are measuring how much progress we have made towards this goal through the Satisfaction Survey.

Excel

• · Improved talent development in at least 25 sports

This target accounts for 25% of our investment.

Sport England is investing in 46 national governing bodies to improve talent development. Sport England has set the NGBs indvidual challenging targets to meet that are qualitative as well as quantitative. We will be reporting on how they are doing on a yearly basis, starting in April 2010.

Children and Young People

Sport England is also working with and through NGBs and CSPs to ensure that more children and young people are able to participate in sport in their own time and in their local communities.

The impact of this investment and work is measured through our Active People Survey and through independent impact studies.

Mass participation legacy

Additionally, Sport England is focused on the delivery of a mass participation legacy from the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.  In November 2010, Sport England came together with the Olympic and Paralympic stakeholders and the Minister for Sport and the Olympics, Hugh Robertson MP, to announce Places People Play, a £135 million initiative to bring the sporting legacy to life in communities across the country.

Business planning and reporting

Sport England’s publishes an annual Business Plan.

Sport England sends quarterly reports to DCMS giving a summary of performance against key outcome measures.
