the vision of Sports colleges is to raise
standards of achievement in physical
education and sport for all their students
across the ability range leading to whole
school improvement.
the Fylde coast boasts 3 Sport
colleges: Palatine, collegiate and
Fleetwood. these Schools are focal
points for promoting excellence in
physical education and community sport,
extending links between families of
schools, sports bodies and communities,
sharing resources, developing and
spreading good practice and helping to
provide a structure through which young
people can progress to careers in sport
and physical education.

Programme is designed to increase
the percentage of all school children in
england who spend a minimum of 2
