GSSP Booklet

Introduction GSSP membership provides a wide range of opportunities to Greenwich primary schools to help support staff development and unlock the potential of young people through the power of PE, purposeful enrichment and positive wellbeing.

Schools will be given access to a variety of tools to support PE, school sport and physical activity. This includes CPD sessions, professional advice and an array of resources.

All annual opportunities are provided through consultation with primary PE leads across the borough, meaning that your GSSP membership is bespoke to our local community of schools.

The Shooters Hill Board of Trustee’s is totally committed to the concept of bringing the benefit of Shooters Hill's facilities to the wider community. Our students are able to enjoy these excellent sports facilities and so should the wider community.

One of our objectives is to be an inclusive Academy - thus we wish to extend our facilities to local residents, local schools and also to include those disadvantaged members of society who are often overlooked.

We wish to engage local communities, relevant associations and charities to ensure that people have the opportunity to take part in our sports, and benefit from our facilities.

Whatever sport you are coming to participate in, we look forward to welcoming you all.

Jackie Gray Chair of Trustee Board
