PESSYP Grants
The core ring-fenced PESSYP grant funds a full time Partnership Development Manager (PDM), along with School Sport Co-ordinators and Primary Link Teachers.
In addition to the core PESSYP grant, School Sport Partnerships also draw on a number of programmes which they use to help them deliver on their targets. These programmes are:
- Coaching: additional funding to employ professional, qualified coaches to be used to enhance PE and Sport provision across the School Sport Partnership
- Swimming: additional funding to ensure that more primary school pupils become confident swimmers
- Competition Managers: to increase the quality and quantity of inter-school competitive sport
- Further Education Sport Coordinator (FESCo) in every Further Education (FE) College
