Sport Specific Teacher Training
Our teaching support programme is an effective and sustainable way for schools to empower their staff and provide ongoing Continuted Professional Development (CPD). We provide schools with highly qualified practitioners, who work alongside school staff to improve thier knowledge and confidence in a range of sports a physical activities. Teaching staff will learn: how to structure a PE lesson, new games and skill practices, appropriate modifications to challenge children of different abilities, to manage behaviour out of the classroom, effective ways to keep children physically active for sustained periods and how to have competition (without the tears!).

Case Study
Maple Infants
Objective: Maple Infants’ leadership team wanted a whole school approach to improving their teachers PE delivery.
Solution: Pleiades Leisure presented a 38 week plan; delivering sessions, observing staff, offering support and planning every step of the way.
Results:
- Maple appreciated having access to planning to support their teaching.
- Teachers felt their practice benefitted from seeing Pleiades Leisure conduct sessions/certain skills or activities first before picking it up themselves in subsequent weeks’ teaching
- They felt that Pleiades Leisure always adapted their practice for both the higher and lower ability children within each class - and again teachers have been able to take this on board for their own future practice.
- Teachers have also felt the benefit of always having a Pleiades session on a Monday - it's a structure that works for everyone's timetables and is also consistent for the children.
