The PE and School Sports Network was born out of the Southwark School Sports Partnership programme that was originally created in 2003 and then changed to the PESSN in 2012. The change allowed us to expand our PE programme to reflect a more holistic provision that supports our main aims that are;
- To offer a varied and inclusive competition programme for primary, secondary and special schools (including the School Games)
- To offer an extensive CPD programme to upskill primary teachers in PE. This includes team teaching and insets
- To offer young people the chance to join our leadership programme which includes training and opportunities to volunteer at future events
- To educate young people on the benefits of a healthy lifestyle through our health, wellbeing and yoga and mindfulness programmes
- To improve SEND provision across schools and provide more opportunities to SEND pupils through our SEND PE Teaching Programme
- To ensure fun and engaging PE lessons
The PE & School Sports Network is based at Bacon’s College in Southwark & is a progressive organisation which works with over 100 primary, secondary & special schools to development physical education & school sport. We strive to improve on everything we do and very much value the support and feedback from our schools and providers in order to keep pushing forwards and make PE, physical activity, health & sport an essential part in changing children’s lives.
