The role of the SSP

We are at the beginning of an exciting new chapter in the history of the Norwich School Sport Partnership. Thanks to the support of our 35 member schools the SSP’s short term future has been secured.

To secure our long term future the SSP must provide an effective, cost effective service which schools value and are prepared to support in the future.

To make sure that the we provide exactly what our member schools want/need we have consulted with schools to find out;

1) Which of the SSPs current services schools value the most and would like to keep in the future?

2) Which services schools didn't value and could manage without?

3) Are there any new services which schools would like the SSP to provide?

We were delighted that almost 80% of schools rated the SSPs overall services as either “good” or “outstanding”.  Schools also gave us some really useful feedback on precisely what services they would like the SSP to provide for their staff and pupils.

Based on this information we produced a proposal that outlined a package of services that we could provide to schools and set out a cost at which we could provide these for schools. Over 88% of the schools within the SSP have accepted the proposal and agreed to pay an annual membership to become an annual member of the SSP for 2011/12.

This document builds on our initial proposal and gives specific details about all of the opportunities that we promised to deliver in our proposal. The aim of the document is to ensure that all member schools understand fully what opportunities are available to them and take responsibility for accessing them.

We are always keen to hear schools views on the service that we provide and would welcome any comments or feedback that you feel could help improve our work. 

We look forward to working with our member school during 2011/12.
