Playing for Success makes a direct contribution to the Government’s Children’s Plan (December 2007) which reinforces the message that learning outside school hours can help close the attainment gap, can personalise and make learning fun, and ultimately help young people fulfil their potential.

"The work of Playing for Success centres, supporting children’s’ education in a tailored way, closely corresponds with our own vision of the future of learning – personalised around the needs of each and every child. In addition, centres are increasingly forming part of the Extended Schools services offered by local authorities, and Playing for Success continues to contribute to each of the five outcomes for young people identified in Every Child Matters."

Playing For Success Yearbook 2007 - Foreword

"Making this country the best place for children and young people to grow up is the ambition of our Children’s Plan, and that means giving every child a world-class education and doing more to prevent any child falling behind or failing to fulfil their potential because of learning difficulties, poverty or disadvantage. This is where Playing for Success is ahead of the game, offering real opportunities for learning for all, both inside and outside the normal school day. By focusing on underachieving pupils between 9 and 14, and boosting the key skills they need to learn, it gets them back up to speed in these vital years of education".
