NEWS UPDATE Sport School sport plans unveiled
Education secretary Michael Gove has announced the government’s vision for the delivery and funding of school sports. Every secondary school will receive a

Meanwhile, school sport partnerships will be funded by the Department of Education until the end of the 2011 sum- mer term at a cost of £47m.

Willmott Dixon to build Forest Hill facility

Architects-designed facility in January, which will replace the existing Forest Hill pools and feature a 25m main pool. A 16.7m learner pool; a fitness gym;
two studios; a community room; and a café will also form part of the centre – the fourth leisure scheme to be approved by the council in recent years.

The development proposals will also see the Victorian facade of Forest Hill Pools retained as part of the scheme, which is also set to include the creation of a “pocket park” and is due for completion by the end of 2012. Lewisham Council cabinet member for
community services Chris Best said: “The final design was very much the result of a strong working relationship between the architects and the stakeholder group set up to liaise with residents.”
The British Quality Foundation (in partnership with QLM) Levels of Excellence Programme provides an improvement and measurement framework using the EFQM Excellence Model to underpin business culture and improvement processes.
The first step in this process is Committed to Excellence (C2E) accreditation. C2E is an internationally recognised, organisation wide improvement and accreditation process that is significantly cheaper than some quality accreditation schemes, but crucially can provide a fresh impetus in the pursuit of service excellence.
