Can you release more than one teacher at a time?

Yes, we can cover one class or one year group. We are aware of how important it is for teachers from the same year group to plan together, we are very flexible and will meet the needs of individual schools.

Will the children be assessed?
All children will be assessed twice a year, once at Christmas and once before May half-term. However if a child excels in any particular sport this will be recorded and put into the end of year reports.

How do your costs compare with a supply teacher?
Full-time P.P.A. cover from Sports Focus in Schools will save you approximately 20% of a supply teachers cost. You will have high quality sports provision and also make a saving on your annual budget
