A platform pupils and teachers love
-
“The programme has really helped me and the delivery of PE within our school. Having had no real experience in teaching dance previously, I've learnt lots of different terminology and how a dance lesson should be laid out. I like how the lessons link with other curriculum subjects, making it more relatable and engaging for the students.” - Bradbury Park Primary (Blue Kite MAT)
-
“We are using the platform for our indoor PE sessions and have a lot more engagement than expected, especially with boys. Hopefully this will continue.” – Shafton Primary (Lift Schools MAT)
-
“Primary Steps on Demand lessons are clearly structured and help our students express themselves. Being part of The Royal Ballet School allows all children to take part - they always join in, and can pick it up learning from others around them” – Holy Trinity Primary (Alethia MAT)
-
“'With Primary Steps on Demand, it's so easy. Everything is there for you, the lesson plans, all the ideas; it's such a fantastic programme for someone like me who is a complete beginner” – St Anne Line Primary School
