services:

PPA
Cover at St Mary’s, Writhlington
Cathie Lampert, Deputy Head Teacher
Since we started with Ed Support this school year we
have noticed: |
- With the same coaches coming into the school
every week and delivering all the sessions, there
is continuity with both children and staff.
- Coaches are becoming more like members of the
school staff in the way they integrate with children
and school staff.
- All Ed Support coaches are highly qualified,
Enhanced CRB checked and internally trained.
- The staff are internally audited through lesson
observation and feedback at least every school term
by Simon Jones.
- The school has written a curriculum map to ensure
progression each year for ALL pupils. The coaches
follow a well designed scheme of work to deliver
each unit.
- The behaviour in the school has dramatically
improved. This cannot totally be attributed to the
PPA coaching. However, a focus on team work, role
models (some male) who the children can look-up
to, increased achievement and enjoyment in PE and
physical activity will all have contributed to this.
- Coaches are providing extra clubs which has enhanced
the curriculum and boosted inter school sports.
- Coaches provide clear assessments for each child
based on the terms work to add to our PE portfolio.
- All pupils are receiving at least 2 hours of good
quality PE a week. (Key Stage 2 have 3 hours of
PE a week)

From the
Teachers:
“They are providing expertise that some teachers
feel they don’t have.” Teacher Class 2
Teacher Class 3 has noticed an improvement in pupils’
cooperation, interaction, respect, ability to support
others and sense of fair play since the beginning of
term.
From the Pupils:
"We have regular PE. I like it because we can use
lots of energy. This helps us focus in class".
"It encourages us to do more sport at home. We’ve
been learning about team work and how to get on with
others". |

Waycroft
Primary, Bristol
Stella Sage, Headteacher
“We have been using Ed Support to provide PPA
cover for 4 years now and have been impressed with the
quality of teaching from the coach we use at Waycroft
Primary. Ed Support encourages their coaches to become
involved in the life of the school. This has certainly
happened: behaviour management; health and safety considerations
and implementation of our planning integrated with the
coaches' own ideas have always been of a high standard.
The children really look forward to their PE lessons,
enjoying working with specialists. All dealings with
the company have been extremely professional and Simon
Jones back at base has always been easy to contact and
monitors closely the impact of his company on the school.
We aim to continue to use Ed Support for the foreseeable
future.” |

"This is just a short note to thank you for all your
help with our recent need for an innovative Quality Assurance
System. The level of service Ed Support provided was superb.
It was such a breath of fresh air
to deal with a company whose enthusiasm and professionalism
was faultless. Your understanding of our requirements were
exact due entirely to the depth of research that was carried
out. The quick response to my initial enquiry and the attention
to detail throughout the project was superb.
Your communication of all relevant information
allayed any fears and answered pretty much all our questions
before we had even thought to ask them and your excellent
experience enabled us to trust you totally to deliver a
first rate result.
Thank you Ed Support!" |

"Simon
was the Summit Leader at J8 Edinburgh 2005, the official youth
event of the G8 Summit (www.j82006.com).
The 3-day Summit provided an opportunity for young people
from all G8 countries to meet together, discuss and debate
topical global issues, and to present their ideas to world
leaders – which they did when they handed Tony Blair
their work on the first day of the G8 Summit in Gleneagles
in July 2005. As Summit Leader,
Simon was the spokesperson throughout the J8 Summit, and
the person the students and teachers all looked to for information
and guidance. Simon was a charismatic and enthusiastic Summit
Leader, whose rapport with the delegates enabled a busy
and complex Summit to run smoothly. He is a warm and open
person who was liked by all at J8, and who will always be
remembered fondly by the students who took part as ‘Simon,
our Summit Leader!’" |
