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


Welcome to the latest edition of Pulse, the Kent & Medway primary school sport magazine. We hope that you had a fantastic summer and are now ready for another great year of school sport.


In this edition we pose the question ‘are we really making the best use of the PE and sport premium funding?’, take an in-depth look at primary school swimming requirements, and find out how PE can help SEN children within mainstream schools.


We also report on the fantastic work a school is doing in Dover, showcase Kent Sport’s PE and Health Wheel as well as so much more.


As always, we hope you enjoy reading your copy of ‘Pulse’ and welcome any ideas on what you would like to see in the magazine in the future. We would also love to feature some of the great work you are doing so please contact us if you have an inspiring story to tell or would like to have your school featured.
