PPA is a valuable time in any teacher's week.
Keep your class in safe hands with one of our experienced sports coaches delivering PE lessons to your students during your PPA time.
With the ever growing pressure on teachers we all know how valuable the planning, preparation and assessment time can be in a primary school.
​
Some schools struggle to find a reliable, cost effective solution to their PPA cover but that's why we only work with committed, experienced and enthusiastic coaches that have a passion to deliver quality PPA cover.
​
Our sports educators are confident managing full classes whilst possessing the skills and qualifications required by your local authority. Educators will work with your children at the heart of the session whilst managing challenging behaviour effectively.

Utilise Your PE & Sport Premium Funding For Teacher CPD To Upskill Your Teachers In PE
How Does It Work?
Our PE Mentors will work with your teachers in their own classes to improve their understanding on the deliver of PE.
The process will start with teachers observing the mentor and then gradually over the programme they will lead more and more of the session themselves with mentor feedback.
At the start and the end of the programme, teachers will complete a self review which will allow the individual and you as a school to clearly see the results. This works as great evidence for Ofsted too in the effective use of your PE & Sport Premium budget and teacher development.

Mr Shipway has provided our children with outstanding rugby coaching which is clearly planned, delivered and assessed. By working with all 90 of our Year 3 children, he has inspired
them to engage more in physical activity and sport. We really appreciate all of the efforts put in by Mr Shipway and we would strongly recommend him to every school. We are looking forward to welcoming Mr Shipway and back to Shirley Heath in the new academic year!
