National Curriculum Training Programme Course Registration The National Curriculum Training Programme (NCTP) has been reviewed and updated for the 2008/9 academic year.

PESSYP (PE & Sport Strategy for Young People) Funding To improve the outcomes of school swimming it is essential to provide high quality school swimming lessons. PESSYP funding aims to build on the already established achievements from the previous PESSCL strategy. Part of this is to continue to increase school links with local sports clubs and increase the number of hours young people spend doing PE in a week. In order to achieve this it is important to ensure that teachers/assistants are equipped with the knowledge and skills to be able to deliver high quality PE to young people and the NCTP has been developed to deliver this to swimming teachers/assistants. Please note: To encourage full utilisation of PESSYP funded courses there is an under-capacity fee of £10 per candidate under the maximum number of candidates allowed e.g. a Module 2 courses of 8 will be charged an under capacity fee of £20.
