Early Years Screening Programme

 

afPE's course* stems from the recognition that some children enter school facing motor competency challenges. Whether it's a lack of exposure to physical activity, excessive screen time, or posture issues from extended periods in prams or car seats, we've identified the key contributors. We screen for phonics and numeracy, but what about a child's ability to move effectively? Physical development is a crucial aspect, and our programme bridges this gap. This course qualifies you to accurately assess children’s motor competency using a baseline assessment tool. Furthermore, it enables you to run interventions for children to help them improve their motor competency and to help them suppress primitive reflexes which will improve coordination, balance, proprioception, agility. This will enable children to take part with greater confidence in physical education lessons and physical activity.

 

Gymnastics in the Primary School

 

Teaching gymnastics in the primary school can be one of the most enjoyable subjects to deliver if you are confident to teach the basic skills, compositional movement and understand progression in the subject. This course aims to develop subject knowledge and provide confidence to teach safe, inspiring and high quality gymnastics in the primary school. Generally, the course is tailored to primary staff with QTS, PE subject leaders, HLTA’s, TA’s and Sports Coaches. To deliver a quality gymnastics curriculum you do not have to be a gymnast yourself! Moreover, you need to feel confident and understand what this subject looks like in the primary school.
