Primary Schools

Education

Gillingham FC Foundation's Primary School Programmes support children and young people to be the best version of themselves. We work to inspire young people to enjoy the habit of physical activity and use sport to support their personal and educational development.

Evidence shows that children and young people who are more active have more confidence, higher self-esteem, less anxiety and stress, and better social skills. Please contact us to learn about programmes we can deliver to your pupils.

 

PE Delivery 

The Foundation has an experienced team that delivers lessons in line with the National PE Curriculum for Key Stage 1-4.

Lunchtime and After School Clubs 

Encouraging children to take part in extra-curricular activities, the Foundation organise the programme with the school to suit their needs and compliment the PE delivery programme.
