Ofsted released their latest report last Friday following the £150m-a-year fund introduced in all England’s primary schools last year to build on the 2012 Olympics legacy. On the whole the report showed schools are making good use of the money and pupils’ PE skills were improving.

The great news is we’re already covering a number of the recommendations (page 7) Ofsted have outlined to schools in the report.

Please watch this video explaining firstly, how to create a medium term plan, secondly how to create a short term plan for your medium term plan and thirdly, completing a summative assessment for individual pupils.

Once you’ve input all the relevant data onto the BMS, your completed (medium & short term) plans and pupil summative assessments will appear in the ‘Assessments & Attainments’ section of the Schools Portal.

FYI, you can also print your completed plans via the BMS.

Premier Education Group fully recognises the responsibility it has regarding safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. We can’t reiterate enough the importance that all staff know what to do if they have any concerns.

Please read the revised Child Protection & Safeguarding Policy to remind you of how to respond to any disclosures, suspicions and allegations.

Premier Sport franchisee, Daniel French has now been running his successful Premier Performing Arts business since January 2014, so we thought it was time we caught up with him to see how things are going.

We are delighted to welcome Debbie Mitchell to Premier Education Group. Debbie and husband Mark live in North Lincolnshire and will be operating in the Lincoln territory.

She has invested in the Premier Platinum business package which provides her with the ability to operate both Premier Sport and Premier Performing Arts alongside The Golden Mile.

PEG was delighted to welcome your Franchise Champions to Head Office ahead of the upcoming regional network meetings. The purpose of the meeting was to hear all the latest news and developments from Head Office departments which will in turn be relayed to you soon.

As you’d expect, we’ll continue to invest heavily in our systems and product development to ensure we’re supporting your business for another year of fantastic growth. In fact, over the last year we invested over £100,000 on the BMS upgrades and Schools Portal. We’ll continue to match that in the year ahead.

You should already be in discussions with your accountant to finalise your annual accounts. You must submit your accounts in the correct format to [email protected] before 30th November 2014.

For those Premier Sport Franchisees that also have a Premier Performing Arts license, there is a new Premier Education Group template for you to submit. If you’re unsure of the template to use, please take a look at the examples below.

Debbie Waller ditched the calculator and spreadsheets for her hiking boots as she embarked on a mission to conquer the mountains of Nepal in aid of the local mountain people.

Debs raised £600 in the process for Nepal in Need. She’s still raising and would appreciate your support in making a small difference - visit her page.

Please take a look at some of Debs’ photos on Facebook.
