GYMNASTICS IN SCHOOLS
Gymnastics is a unique sport, and for many teachers in schools, it is an area of PE that they are actively seeking to develop.
At Perform Better Gymnastics Academy we are committed to using our expertise to serve the wider community, and we currently work with schools across North London areas in a variety of ways to offer children the best possible opportunities in our sport. We are passionate about making school children fitter & healthier to better face today’s tough academic challenges.

GYMNASTICS PPA
CLASSES
We have active partnerships with a range of primary and secondary schools around North London delivering mainly tailored schemes of gymnastics lessons during the school day. We work with children of all ages and abilities and design our sessions according to their needs; ranging from larger groups preparing for local competitions or performances to smaller groups of children with special educational needs. The wellbeing of coaches and children alike in the school environment is key, and we adhere to official British Gymnastics ratio guidelines to ensure that we are providing a challenging but safe environment at all times.
For the formal PPA sessions, we have created comprehensive and structured plans for each year group spread over a term. If required, we will provide schools with a copy of our plans for inspection purposes. Each week we cover a different topic (shapes/rolling/ jumping/ travelling/ using apparatus, partner work,/sequence of shapes) and will carry assessments at the end of the term for the school reports. During PPA we focus on teaching points, specific vocabulary use, skills understanding, encouraging children to look for answers. At the end of each session children who have contributed positively, having demonstrated good ability, positive answers, excellent behaviour, and hard work will be awarded certificates.

FOR
EVERYONE
We can also supply PPA cover at short notice
As part of PPA we also offer the following National Curriculum based activities:
BREAKFAST, LUNCH & AFTER-SCHOOL CLUBS
In our more informal and fun-orientated Gymnastics Breakfast Clubs, children will have fun while still working towards the British Gymnastics proficiency award scheme from level 8 up to level 1.
During a term, children will acquire new skills and eventually we will be organising a small competition where parents are invited to watch their child progress. Children will be assessed and certificates, medals, badges, and trophies will be awarded at the end of each term. The best children might be selected for local and regional school competitions.
ADDITIONAL
ACTIVITIES
SCHOOL STAFF TRAINING: GYMNASTICS WORKSHOPS
We encourage members of staff to observe or participate in our gymnastics sessions at their schools, but we also offer teacher-specific gymnastics workshops to schools who wish to lead their PE sessions independently in the future. Our coaches visit schools during their staff training time, and lead fun informative sessions for staff based delivering a range of activities that target different skills, gaining confidence teaching different apparatus, and how to identify Gifted & Talented children. Our school partners are also encouraged to visit us at the Club venues at the end of a block of sessions; so that the gymnasts can showcase all their skills in a purpose-built gymnastics facility.
