Cleveland School Sport Partnership CIC is a Community Interest Company working with schools and partner organisations to improve the lives of children and young people through high-quality Physical Education, School Sport and Physical Activity (PESSPA).

Hosted by Chaloner Primary School, we work with primary, secondary and special schools across East Cleveland, providing support, opportunities and programmes that help schools place physical activity at the heart of school life.

We believe that every child and young person should have the opportunity to be active, enjoy high-quality PE and school sport, and develop the confidence, competence and motivation to remain physically active throughout their lives.

Our team works alongside school leaders, teachers, teaching assistants, pupils and community partners to develop sustainable approaches to PESSPA that meet the needs of individual schools and their pupils.

What we offer

Our support includes:

• PE and PESSPA Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for teachers, teaching assistants and other school staff.

• Curriculum PE support and mentoring, working alongside school staff to improve confidence, knowledge and the quality of PE provision.

• School Games competitions, festivals and events, providing opportunities for children of all abilities to represent their school and enjoy positive experiences of sport and physical activity.

• Inclusive and SEND opportunities, including adapted activities, staff development and targeted programmes designed to help more children participate.

• Physical activity programmes that help schools develop active classrooms, active breaktimes and lunchtimes, before- and after-school opportunities and a wider culture of physical activity.

• Sports Leadership programmes, giving young people opportunities to develop confidence, responsibility and leadership skills while helping other pupils to become more active.

• Early Years physical development support, helping schools develop children's fundamental movement skills and physical confidence from an early age.

• Cycling programmes, including Bikeability, Balance Bike activities and initiatives that encourage safe and active travel.

• School-to-community pathways, helping children and young people connect with local sports clubs and opportunities to remain active beyond school.

• Bespoke school support, working with schools to identify priorities and develop programmes that respond to the needs of their pupils, staff and community.

Our work is about much more than competition. We want to help schools create environments where every child can find a way to be active, achieve, belong and enjoy taking part.
