PULSE WELCOME TO KENT ANDMEDWAY’S SCHOOL SPORTS MAGAZINE PULSE The Kent & Medway School Sports Magazine Foreword


Welcome to the latest edition of Pulse. We do hope you had a great winter break and are now getting back into the swing of things after Christmas. You should have all received your first instalment of the Primary School Sport Premium by now and I’m sure most of you have started putting your yearly action plans together (and if you haven’t please do so as these should be on your websites).


This month sees the return of Kent & Medway’s Annual Primary PE Conference (please see back page for more details) and it would be great to see as many of you as possible there. We’ve managed to get some great speakers and a very special guest all confirmed so if you haven’t signed up to come, please do so as you won’t want to miss this.


We do hope you thoroughly enjoy reading this latest edition of Pulse and don’t forget to get in contact if you are doing something you would like to showcase and/or you have any queries regarding the Sports Premium Funding.
