Dear Colleagues
This is the final Update of the term - so Merry Christmas to all our readers!
A final reminder that the next Networking Meeting for PE staff is due to take place on Friday 8th December, 1-4pm at Thanet Squash Club in Broadstairs. As always this is an ideal opportunity for PE staff to feel supported and keep up to date with the latest developments. Stephanie, our SGO, will be doing her usual briefing, including guidance on the changes and criteria when applying for this year's School Games Mark. We will also have a practical coaching session for all attendees on the delights of Mini Squash, an introduction to the game for both KS1 and KS2 children. As if that was not enough, refreshments will be provided - maybe even a mince pie or two!
Please confirm your attendance by emailing me, garybcrees@gmail.com , as soon as possible. There is no limit on numbers from any school and don't forget that cover for your attendance counts as eligible expenditure from your School Sports Premium.
