How will we be spending the PE & Sports Funding and who will benefit?
Hire qualified sports coaches to work alongside teachers when teaching PE
We will continue to organise for specialist coaches to come into school, particularly where delivery of sessions can be enhanced through specialisation. This is particularly the case in dance which, as of this year is a National Curriculum requirement. We will pay for an external provider to train staff tailoring to the needs of the department and individual staff areas for development. Not only will the children benefit from being taught by a specialist coach but our own staff will be developed through sharing good practice.
