SCHOOLS

It’s so much more than just fun!

The government-funded PE and Sport Premium for primary schools aims to help schools support healthier, more active lifestyles. One of the recommendations is that this funding be used to ‘introduce new sports or activities and encourage more pupils to take up sport’.

Working with you, Clip ‘n Climb Nottingham can provide healthy and active learning opportunities for children and young people.
