Welcome to Vauxhall Motors FC Community Sports, a not for profit registered company established in 2012 by the football club to use the power of football and sport to inspire and engage people in worthwhile activities. The main approaches of our work encompass education; social inclusion; health & well-being; and Football/Sports delivery & development. We have made significant progress since our Head of Community took on the role to develop the community programme in September 2012. Since then, we have run a successful Mascot Project involving a number of schools in the Ellesmere Port area; delivered a level 2 BTEC award to 6 young people not in education employment or training (NEET); delivered after school and lunchtime sports clubs to schools in Ellesmere Port and Chester; established mini-kickers, disability, and girls only football classes; engaged with over 1000 young people aged between 4 and 18 years old; employed 2 full time staff and other part time staff (to date); gained grant funding from the Football Conference Trust and Awards for All; developed and implemented a partnership agreement with University Church of England Academy (UCEA); as well as delivered numerous holiday soccer and dance camps. We aim to continue the good work already carried out and grow the community programme over the coming months and years ahead, working with our key partners to achieve our goals. Key developments for 2013 include delivery of PPA cover and PE provision to schools as well as developing a football academy in partnership with UCEA, and the delivery and assessment of apprenticeship programmes. Our overall aim is to create a sustainable community programme working with as many people and organisations within the Ellesmere Port, Wirral, and Chester areas on a variety of innovative projects based around our 4 approaches of education; social inclusion; health & well-being; and Football/Sports delivery & development.

School Sport Pupil Premium Funding SCHOOL SPORT PUPIL PREMIUM FUNDING Funding is available to all schools in England for academic years 2013-14 & 2014-15 to support their schools sports delivery. From September 2013, your school will be given 8,000 plus 5 per pupil, to provide new and substantial sports delivery to improve the quality of PE for all the children. This funding can enable your school to hire specialist and qualified sports coaches and sports educators to deliver PE as well as extra-curricular clubs, and to train your staff to deliver in the future. Vauxhall Motors FC Community Sports Aims to place specialist coaches/educators in to schools to deliver the PE curriculum to pupils where our coaches will inspire and motivate pupils. Some schools already cover the PE element of the national curriculum through PPA cover (which we also provide) and may wish to continue with this. However, this funding provides a new opportunity for schools to deliver PE, fully funded. Vauxhall Motors FC Community Sports are excited by this development and the benefits it will provide for the children in primary schools in and around Ellesmere Port, Wirral, and Chester areas. We see it as part of our role in the community to help schools deliver first class PE and sport in a sustainable and cost effective way, as well as building long term relationships and partnerships together. As a not-for-profit organisation, we offer excellent service from fully qualified and experienced staff, at significantly less cost than private commercial sports coaching companies. How could this funding work for your school? School size of 200 (1 form entry) Funding available for 2013-14 = 9,000 1 Sports Coach/Educator = 105 per day ( 120 to include breakfast or after school club / 130 for both / 115 to include just lunchtime club / or 135 for breakfast, lunchtime, and after school clubs) 39 weeks of delivery with 2 days of PE coaching = 8,190 PE Coaching with Extra Curricular club (x 2) = 9,360.
