The Witchford School Sports Partnership has been in existence since September 2004 and is now in its eighth year. The partnership is based at Witchford Village College and consists of 63 primary, secondary and special schools across east Cambridgeshire and Fenland. Our main role is to engage children and young people in high quality Physical Education and sporting activities through a variety of means in school and in the community which ultimately supports achievement and attainment across the curriculum. Our key work strands include:

Developing an Out of School Hours Learning Programme in schools to increase the number of young people taking part in after school clubs in a variety of activities and sports.
Developing an all year round Intra School Competition programme (competition within school). This is Level 1 of the new School Games structure which schools sign up to be part of.
