Mount Pellon Junior & Infant School, Halifax 3.5 days per week - Games, Athletics, OAA, Dance, Gymnastics - 2 form entry
"At Mount Pellon we have PE delivered by Sports (UK) during staff’s PPA time. We receive a very professional service:
Our coach negotiates with the PE coordinator which areas of the curriculum he delivers so that they can choose
the areas they are most confi dent in. He teaches every child from Reception to Year 6, and contributes to school
performances, after school clubs, displays, reward systems and inter school competitions. He is very much a part of
our staff, but also receives guidance and support from his own managers who monitor the quality of lessons and liaise
with our curriculum coordinator. We can recommend this arrangement to other schools!"
