Primary Schools
What we offer
- A professional and highly skilled coach working full-time in your school – a role model extending beyond the PE curriculum to have a positive influence across the school
- Access to high-standard sports equipment
- 10-12 hours of PE curriculum delivery focusing on Key Stage 2 with some Key Stage 1 delivery and the opportunity to develop Key Stage 1 teachers in their PE delivery
- 8 to 10 hours of bespoke intensive sports coaching and mentoring sessions which take place during the school day focusing on students in Years 4, 5 and 6, using our STEP Framework.
These sessions can focus on:
- Rewarding children’s attendance to extra-curricular clubs with additional small group sessions
- Behavioural challenges
- Attendance concerns
- Transition to secondary school
- Inactive to active (targeting obesity and promoting physical well-being)
Greenhouse programmes give priority to healthy development and are carefully designed and delivered by inspirational coaches to be truly inclusive. With safeguarding and health and safety embedded into the culture of our organisation, we are able to deliver a safe and positive experience of sport for all.
Our programme model provides a positive and inclusive introduction to sport, physical activity and the contribution to well-being for all children.
Greenhouse Coaches also provide:
- At least 4 lunch clubs per week, giving participants an opportunity to be active in a fun environment. These sessions can be focused on certain students or age groups on each day.
- 5 hours of breakfast and after-school clubs which provide an opportunity to develop the participants’ technical skills further. There is a focus on competitive opportunities both within and outside of the school.
- STEP delivery as well as sport for development. Participants begin to show commitment to the programme and develop the relationship with the coach. Being more active, the participants develop better physical and mental well-being.
- Up to 5 hours of active and fun sessions each day for up 6-8 weeks of the school holidays. There will be opportunities to experience other sports delivered by secondary programme specialist coaches, attend competitions, festivals and enrichment activities. This provides a positive experience during the holidays when some students can be distracted by negative activities and behaviours, especially if parents have to be at work.
- Opportunity to contribute to the success of your OFSTED inspection.
- Exclusive opportunities with our corporate partners.
