ACTIVEMARK 2007,
SPORTSMARK 2007 AND SPORTS PARTNERSHIP MARK 2007 - FACTSHEET
Activemark , Sportsmark
and Sports Partnership Mark - which are awarded annually - reward delivery
of the national PE, School Sport and Club Links strategy. They are open
to all schools which are part of a school sport partnership . For the
second year, schools are automatically assessed for one of the marks
through the national school sport survey, which all partnership schools
