Funding towards new equipment and team kits for the children's after-school sports clubs, including football, netball and athletics. The clubs help to develop healthy minds and bodies, and equip the children with valuable life skills.
Description
The after-school classes are offered to all of the pupils at St Peter's. These clubs are free and local to the children, which means parents avoid travelling to drop off/collect their children, and save money on extra-curricular activities. The clubs have many other benefits - as well as developing healthy minds and bodies, they equip the children with valuable skills that will help them throughout their time in school and onto later life.
To make the clubs more fun and inclusive, sports kits are required for the children to wear in tournaments against other schools. A team kit will help to create a sense of identity and unity among the teams, promote a sense of equality, and help to boost morale and confidence, creating a sense of pride.
Due to the cost of living crisis, it is not practical to ask parents to contribute to the cost of the kits.
Funding is also required for new sports equipment to be used at the after-school clubs, as well as during class time.
The funding will be spent on the following:
Training bibs - £70
Full kits (tops, shorts, socks, etc) for all teams - £700
Sports equipment (netballs, footballs, goals, tennis rackets and balls) - £230
