Active Schools

This programme aims to provide every young person at school with access to high quality, locally coordinated and sustainable opportunities to participate in and improve skills in the sport or physical activities of their choice. 

The Physical Education Consultant supports secondary school Physical Education teachers and Primary school Physical Education co-ordinators through training to deliver Top Play/Top Sport throughout Doncaster Schools.

Active Communities

This is about helping all people take part in sport, by positively tackling barriers to participation and ensuring that sports provision is in every respect appropriate to the people being encouraged to take part.

Active Sports

Active Sports is aimed at young people who have learnt the basic skills of their chosen sport (either through school or in the community) and have the ability and desire to improve their sports skills. Active Sports will provide local coaching and competitive opportunities, and will provide routes into county-level performance and beyond. This will be achieved by establishing forty-five Sports Partnerships covering the whole of England, bringing together local authorities, education, and sports organisations. 

The local authorities of Doncaster, Rotherham, Barnsley and Sheffield have now created one of these partnerships supported by Sport England and the Lottery Sports Fund. The South Yorkshire Partnership will ensure the nine sports - athletics, basketball, cricket, girls football, hockey, netball, rugby, swimming, and tennis - are delivered in accordance with a series of national development frameworks, which will guide the local delivery of the programme.
