We are excited to announce that the Bristol Primary Teaching School Alliance have been successful in winning a DfE national bid to support the improvement of PE and gymnastics teaching in the city. 

In partnership with Create Development, they are becoming one of only nine DfE funded PE hubs across the country, in a pilot programme, testing models of delivery in the year ahead.

Their offer looks in detail at upskilling whole staff with PE and gymnastics teaching and includes full Schemes of Work and Lesson Plans based on the highly regarded real PE and real gym programmes which many schools have adopted over the last few years in the city and over 6,700 schools nationally. The offer also supports children and families to increase activity levels beyond their lessons at school. Bristol Primary Teaching Alliance aim to work closely with a PE lead in each school, to deliver high quality training and to support them to drive change whilst ensuring PE and Sport Premium is used effectively, showing good value for money and impact.

Selected schools will receive (all free of charge):

• 3 days of subject leader training - to upskill your PE lead and to support them to implement a new PE and gymnastics curriculum school wide.
