Schools Sports Partnership
Inspiring Participation, Developing Leaders and Supporting Primary Schools
The Fareham Schools Sports Partnership (SSP) supports local primary schools in delivering high-quality physical education, school sport and physical activity opportunities.
Working in partnership with schools across the local area, we provide specialist support, professional development and competition opportunities that help children develop confidence, leadership skills, teamwork and a lifelong enjoyment of physical activity.
Our aim is to raise standards in physical education, increase participation in sport and physical activity, develop young leaders and create pathways into community sport for children and young people.
How We Support Schools
We offer a wide range of services tailored to the needs of individual schools, including:
- Specialist curriculum PE delivery by qualified PE teachers.
- Team teaching and coaching alongside primary school staff.
- Professional development and CPD opportunities for school staff.
- Support for developing high-quality PE provision.
- Access to specialist sports coaching through trusted local club links.
- Development of young sports leaders and leadership programmes.
- Organisation of inter-school festivals and competitions.

Our approach focuses not only on improving physical skills but also on developing confidence, resilience, teamwork and leadership.
