Caerphilly school children to have their say on sport

News | Richard Gurner | Published: 13:00, Monday April 8th, 2013.

Children across Caerphilly County Borough are being encouraged to have their say in school sports.

Organisation Sport Wales has launched its second national School Sport Survey.

The survey was completed by 40,000 primary and secondary school pupils in 2011, making it the biggest survey of children, young people and sport in Wales to date.

The 2011 survey found that levels of club participation for primary schools were at their highest recorded level since 2000 at 85%. It was also discovered that the gender gap between boys and girls taking part in sport was found to increase through secondary school.

By completing the survey, children will be aiding their schools and local authority in making essential improvements to sport provided in school.

The survey will be live on www.sportwales.org.uk
