PLAYING FOR SUCCESS

Playing for Success (PfS) is a partnership between the Department for Children, Schools & Families (DCSF), Local Authorities and a wide range of sports.  Partners include clubs represented in the Premier and Football Leagues, Rugby League & Union, cricket, basketball, hockey, ice hockey, gymnastics & tennis.  In all, 18 different sports are represented in PfS.  Through Playing for Success, the DCSF & partners have established more than 160 study support centres within sports clubs' grounds and sporting venues across the country.

Centres are vibrant, exciting & stimulating places for young people to learn.   Students at the centres get up to speed in the key skills of literacy, numeracy and ICT - the foundation stones of their education.  Tens of thousands of children have come out of the centres' doors with improved skills, motivation and self esteem, giving them a real boost and, in many cases a new start on which they can build on back at School.
