Calderdale Schools
Sport Programme
“Delivering High Quality PE and sport for all”
1
Rationale
The Calderdale Schools Sport Programme (CSSP) includes the School Games and outlines the
support available to all primary schools to enable them to fulfil the requirements of the sports
premium funding and satisfy Ofsted expectations. The CSSP will support schools by up skilling
teachers through a programme of high quality CPD; working alongside specialist coaches, using the
expertise of PE staff from the sports colleges and access to national courses.
The programme has 3 sections:
1. School Games - FREE
2. School Games Plus - £250 per year
3. Sports Premium - £2500 per year.
Schools can select the level of support required.
Strategic Aim
To work in partnership with schools and communities to ensure all young people have access to
high quality PE and school sport. The aim of the CSSP is to raise attainment, increase participation
in PE and school sport, increase the number of schools engaged in the School Games, reduce
inequalities and promote a healthy, active lifestyle.
Management of the Calderdale Schools Sport Programme
The CSSP will be managed by Hipperholme & Lightcliffe High School and The Brooksbank School
Sports College.
We will:
1. Liaise with your school to develop an annual bespoke PE and school sport action plan for all
schools who become full members (Sports Premium members)
2. Co-ordinate, monitor and quality assure the work of CSSP staff.
3. Support young people to adopt an active healthy lifestyle.
4. Meet in full the requirements of the funding (Sports Premium members)
5. Establish a team of high quality coaches/teachers to deliver the programme.

SCHOOL GAMES – FREE OF CHARGE
Schools in Calderdale are entitled to free entry to all competitions leading to the West Yorkshire
School Games (winter and summer).
From September 2013 we will adopt a Calderdale wide approach with no Hipperholme &
Lightcliffe or Brooksbank section. Schools will remain in their existing clusters unless head teachers
request a change.
Schools can only compete in a competition once and in one local authority.
The following competitions will take place during 2013/14 and 2014/15. A full calendar will be
available and sent to schools before the end of the summer term 2013.
The CSSP will ensure the provision of both inclusive and targeted opportunities for young disabled
people.
