HL Deb 23 March 2004 vol 659 c89WA
Lord Moynihan

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether the analysis in the report The Impact of School Sport Partnerships has been independently verified; and [HL1917]

What assessment was made of the quality of physical education and school sport provision in the report entitled The Impact of School Sport Partnerships. [HL1918]

Baroness Ashton of Upholland

The analysis of the data reported inThe Impact of School Sport Partnerships was undertaken by Taylor Nelson Sofres, an independent market research company.

For the purposes of the 2003–04 Physical Education, School Sport and Club Links Survey schools have assessed for themselves whether the physical education and school sport provision they offer pupils represents high quality. Clear guidance was provided to schools to help them make this judgment including the definition of high quality physical education and school sport within Learning through PE and Sport (DfES/DCMS March 2003).
