NOSSP mentors and coaches �Making a difference!�
A recent survey of partner Primary Schools confirmed the significant difference that North Oxfordshire School Sport Partnership is making to the lives of local children. The survey focused on the impact of our Primary PE Mentors and specialist Sports Coaches who work alongside primary teachers on a weekly basis.
100% of Headteachers and PE subject leaders who responded reported that Mentors had improved the knowledge, skills, confidence and competence of their teachers, enabling them to regularly plan and deliver well-structured and effective lessons, that achieved good to outstanding learning and progress in PE. A similar number said that their PE curriculums and approaches to teaching and learning were now more inclusive as a consequence of the support.
Schools receiving support from our specialist Coaches said that they had regularly demonstrated and modelled well-structured and age appropriate sessions showing good skill progression. As a result teachers are now more able to adopt a physical literacy approach to their teaching, achieving high quality outcomes for their children.
