PROJECT
Peak (Physical Education and Active Kids)
FUNDING
Around £4,000 each year from schools for half a day per week, £6,000 for a full day
BACKGROUND
Sunderland-based initiative Peak was set up by former PE teacher Dave Johnson to address gaps in provision for younger children. "PE in primary schools wasn't of a high enough standard to give children the love of physical activity that should be endemic in society," he explains. The programme launched in April 2014 and now operates in 35 schools across seven authorities: Newcastle, North Tyneside, South Tyneside, Northumberland, Sunderland, Gateshead and Durham.
ACTION
Peak is delivered by four staff members, all qualified to Level 3 in primary physical education, supported by 15 apprentices.
