The PE and School Sport (PESS) Project was set up in Wrexham in 2002 as a result of a task force report outlining the key actions required to improve standards of PE.
The PESS project is managed Nationally by the Sports Council for Wales on behalf of the Welsh Assembly. SCW is supported by a national implementation team drawn from PE specialists across Wales.
