Our staff can support and enhance the knowledge and skills of your school based staff. The ultimate aim is to improve the ongoing delivery of quality PE within the school.

Our support programme allows class teachers, teaching assistants and senior management, the opportunity to shadow one of our senior Sports, Gymnastics and Dance Specialists and work with them on a tailor made scheme of work.

In addition to class based teaching, we can also provide staff insets. These can be staff meetings/twilights or at external venues. Again these can be tailor-made for your school. Our Team Teaching programme has been designed to address the outcomes outlined within the new Ofsted regulations for the Primary School Sports Funding.

• Individual session plans covering the rest of the half term, to be given to the relevant teacher(s).
   
• Further support during and after the Team Teaching sessions are available to school staff throughout the year.
