At Blandford St Mary, we have decided to use this funding to provide the children with new opportunities and specialist coaching. We are also using the money to up skill our teaching staff, to ensure that we maintain high standards of PE teaching and learning in school.
So far this year, we have employed the services of a tennis coach and a rugby specialist to coach the children, whilst the teaching staff use the opportunity to observe, and develop their skills.
We have now kick started December with a gymnastics focus. We have been fortunate enough to employ the services of Dave Eldridge and Rachel McKinney, lecturers in PE at Chichester University to support both staff and pupils, in what proved to be a really productive day for all those involved.
