Following the partnership’s highly successful Primary PE and sport CPD programme 2007/2008, at which over 250 colleagues participated in 20 different courses, further CPD opportunities have been organised for the 2008/2009 academic year.
The courses are all free of charge to teachers, AOTT’s, parents and coaches working or volunteering in infant, junior, Primary and special schools across the boroughs of Woking and Surrey Heath.
CPD courses are a great way of ensuring high quality PE and sport is delivered in your school: the opportunities detailed below will help colleagues to increase their knowledge, skills, understanding and effectiveness in the delivery of high quality PE and sport.
Primary schools within NWSSSP are able to claim up to 9 days supply funding from the school sport partnership each year in order to develop high quality PE and sport.
Schools wishing to claim either a half or full day supply to release colleagues in order to participate in the CPD courses should complete a claim form and send it to j.davidson@wcsc.org.uk
Some of the courses have been set up to support colleagues with preparing teams for the inter school sports events organised by the school sport partnership. These include the dance, gymnastics, sports hall athletics, badminton and mini basketball courses.
If your school is not entering an inter school sports event but you and / or a colleague would like to attend the relevant CPD course, you are very welcome to participate.
