The Use of School Sport and Cultural Facilities.

Schools throughout Scotland provide a critically important resource to support local community cultural and sporting activities of every level and type.

The strategic importance of school facilities has been fully recognised in the national strategy for sport Reaching higher and by the Scottish Arts Council in their developing facilities strategy. With the level of current investment in the school estate, it is all the more important to consider how best to optimise the opportunities presented by these developments and to ensure that all schools make the most effective contribution to cultural and sporting life throughout Scotland.

This investigation conducted a review of the impact of different policies and management regimes on the extracurricular and community use of schools for sport and cultural activities. The information identifies common elements of good practice approaches that maximise community use of school facilities for sport and cultural activities.
