Planning for the future

Going forward we feel that it is vital to continue to have a PE Specialist working in our school each week. The specialist teaching is outstanding and the opportunities for the children to access high quality PE lessons, festivals and after school clubs is invaluable. Accessing regular and supportive CPD will continue to upskill our staff members.
