Abstract	This article examines the policymaking process for physical education (PE) and school sport (PESS) through an examination of the creation and recent demise of the groundbreaking 'school sport partnerships' (SSPs) initiative using Sabatier's advocacy coalition framework (ACF) model (1988, An advocacy coalition framework of policy change and the role of policy oriented learning therein. Policy Sciences, 21, 129-168). The central premise of this socio-economic model of policy analysis is that policymaking occurs through the dynamic interplay of policy brokers and interest groups who compete to influence the course of policy selection. The controversial and widely criticized decision in October 2010 by the new coalition government to abandon its funding of SSPs in favour of a new School Games framework for competitive school sport highlights the highly politicized nature of policymaking for PESS. It is argued that the successful bid for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games provided an ideal opportunity to formally and systematically embed the work of SSPs in order to inspire a generation of young people in England to engage in sport and physical activity. Drawing upon empirical data, it is argued that there is evidence to support Sabatier and Jenkins-Smith's (1993, Policy change and learning: an advocacy coalitions approach. Boulder, CO: Westview Press; 1999, The advocacy coalition framework: an assessment. Boulder, CO: Westview Press) contention that the major policy change (the creation of SSPs) was the consequence of lobbying by an emerging advocacy coalition led by the Youth Sport Trust (YST). However, the model's acknowledgement of the role of significant individuals and the weakness of the advocacy coalition working on behalf of PESS is more helpful in explaining the coalition government's recent decision to end the funding of SSPs.
