The NPESS website is a professional resource site, designed by Physical Education Advisory staff from the Early Years & Schools Service within the Childrens Services Group of Northumberland County Council.
This website provides support to Teachers, Adults Supporting Learning, School Sport Partnerships and other voluntary and non-voluntary networks involved in the promotion and delivery of PE & School Sport in Northumberland.
PE & School Sport Update - March 2011
It is with great sadness that as a result of the recent Coalition Government spending review and the changed role of the local authority, from the 1st April 2011 there will be:
- No Adviser or Physical Education Consultant in post
- No Physical Education Service Level Agreement (SLA) available within the Local Authority to support staff and schools in developing maintaining and promoting high quality Physical Education and Physical Activity.
- No strategic, coordinated and needs based CPD programme available to support the development of Physical Education
- Great uncertainty about the future of School Sport Partnerships given that their funding is due to end 31st August 2011.
