This week I report on the launch of School Sport Partnerships and a national enrichment framework as well as a free webinar on AI.

New national network for PE and school sport announced
The Prime Minister has unveiled a new approach to PE and school sport this week, including the launch of School Sport Partnerships and a national Enrichment Framework to ensure all children and young people can access high-quality extracurricular activities.

The new national network will:

  • Build stronger links between schools, local clubs, and National Governing Bodies
  • Prioritise inclusion for girls and pupils with SEN
  • Share inclusive best practice across all schools
  • Be supported by school-level enrichment profiles detailing each school’s sport and activity offer

Free Webinar – Actionable Intelligence: AI in European Schools
Following up on last week’s release of guidance on AI from the DfE, an online conference has taken place which aimed to demystify AI in education and show schools in the EU exactly what to do next. The conference was free and has been uploaded onto YouTube here.
