<p>Revised plans for school sports funding will be announced on Monday after the Government was forced into a U-turn over proposals to axe entirely the Schools Sports Partnership network, it has been reported.</p>
<p>Education Secretary Michael Gove is expected to announce that some elements of the scheme will be retained at least until after the 2012 London Olympics but with much-reduced central funding.</p>
<p>Staff numbers will also be cut and the organisation scaled back under a compromise deal agreed with Cabinet colleagues, the Guardian said.</p>
<p>A change of heart was first signalled by David Cameron on December 1 &#8211; just a week after he vigorously defended the plan to axe a scheme he said had been a &#8220;complete failure&#8221;.</p>
<p>It came after world champion diver Tom Daley, 16, and several prominent British Olympic champions were among the signatories to a letter calling for a rethink amid fury from headteachers.</p>
<p>The about-turn is believed to have been timed to coincide with a visit by the Prime Minister to the Olympic stadium in east London to turn on Christmas lights.</p>
<p>Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt was reported to have taken the lead in demanding at least a partial reprieve &#8211; arguing scrapping partnerships could harm the UK&#8217;s pledge to use the Games to increase participation.</p>
<p>The Guardian said the existing £162 million-a-year Department for Education funding would still be stopped from March &#8211; and replaced at a much lower level worth &#8220;tens of millions&#8221; until 2015.</p>
<p>Cash would be drawn from existing education, health and culture budgets.</p>
