Our Work

Welcome to the Knowsley School Sport Partnership (KSSP) website where we hope to not only celebrate the successes of pupils and schools within Knowsley but also share with you the latest information around the agenda for PE and Sport

KSSP inspires and supports all of our young people to achieve their personal best within PE and School Sport by providing a range of exciting sporting opportunities for young people to inspire them to be more physically active and lead a healthier lifestyle.

We believe that through sport and physical activity, every young person can enhance their health and well-being, build confidence and learn life skills.  This will give them attributes they need to achieve their goals and aspirations, in all areas of life.

Knowsley School Sport Partnership is hosted by Kirkby High School and provides high quality support to schools across Knowsley to enhance the delivery of PE and school sport. Our experienced and passionate team have built strong relationships with Primary, Secondary and Special Schools over the last 13 years ensuring schools work collaboratively and share resources, knowledge and facilities.
