Our partnership contains 1 specialist sports college (hub site), 7 Secondary School/Springfield Sports College, 56 primary/special schools. A specialist sports college is a maintained secondary school that receives additional funds through a combination of sponsorship and government grants.

The Mid Wiltshire School Sport Partnership is a phase 9, well established and successful School Sport Partnership achieving 85% 2 Hours of PE and School Sport each week within and beyond the curriculum in 2008 in partnership schools.
The new challenge for the School Sport Partnership is to support schools to meet the Government's public service agreement target of ensuring young people are engaging in five housr each week on high quality PE and Sport. Enabling and encouraging schools to use PE and Sport as a vehicle for raising standards and achievement across the whole school.
