From ‘special measures’ to ‘outstanding’ - Head teacher praises Premier Sport
A school in Newcastle Upon Tyne which was placed into ‘special measures’ five years ago has turned a corner after being judged ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted inspectors.
Throckley Primary School received the ‘Outstanding’ grade across all four Ofsted categories including achievement of pupils, quality of teaching, behaviour and safety of pupils and leadership and management.
In achieving the ‘Outstanding’ rating, Head Teacher Mrs. Julie Stuart heaped special praise on Premier Sport for working alongside her staff to deliver their sport and physical education.
“We are extremely pleased with the way in which Premier Sport has worked with us to allocate the new sport premium funding across the school in order to deliver outstanding curriculum and extracurricular PE through a professional development model.”
“This model has ensured teachers can plan collaboratively each half term with a Premier Sport professional. The combination of the teachers' pedagogical knowledge combined with the specialist coach knowledge creates bespoke and targeted plans to ensure all pupils make outstanding progress in Sport and PE”.
Premier Sport is the UK's largest external provider of PE and sport employing over 600 qualified sports professionals supporting over 2,000 schools each week. Premier Sport's ongoing dedication is to work alongside head teachers to help deliver ‘outstanding’ PE and physical activity.
Not only this, Premier Sport will ensure the new sports premium funding is sustainable over and beyond the three years using their unique and innovative new PE and physical activity programme.
