Arty-Physical offers the planning and delivery of bespoke units of dance tying into the EYFS, KS1 and KS2 of the National Curriculum. Our units of work provide the opportunity to enhance PE provision within your school and to make effective use of Sports Premium Funding. A unit of work lasts, on average, around six weeks with a weekly input. Schools are asked to purchase a minimum of a half day per week which can be split into two or three sessions.

Partner schools for 2017-2018 include: Beech Hill School (Halifax), Stubbings Infant School and Central Street Infant and Nursery School (Hebden Bridge), Highbury School (Rastrick), Waldsden St Peter's Primary School (Walsden), Ash Green Community Primary School (Mixenden), Halifax Academy (Halifax), Castle Hill Primary School (Todmorden), Castle Hill School (Huddersfield), Woodhouse Primary School (Brighouse).
Staff development or specialist PPA cover
As a fully qualified school teacher, Jamie
can either work alongside staff within your school, supporting them to become more confident in the delivery of dance, or can provide specialist PPA cover, relieving the class teacher fully for the duration of the session.
In addition, Arty-Physical can provide INSET and teacher training sessions. This year, Jamie has delivered staff training at Castle Hill School, Huddersfield and dance curriculum training to PGCE students within Teamworks Teaching School Alliance.
Feedback from partner schools
"We have used Jamie to deliver a bespoke dance unit to each year group throughout the school alongside developing the practice of our staff in delivering dance lessons. He is incredibly knowledgeable and this, alongside his excellent manner with the children and teaching back ground, has meant that his sessions are fantastic with clear progress evident. There has been a vast change in the attitudes of our children to dance and in their own confidence to perform. Staff also feel more confident in their own ability to teach the dance curriculum as a result of his exemplary staff training sessions."
Helen Crowther, Deputy Head and SLE for Teaching & Learning, Beech Hill School, Halifax.
"Jamie provides specialist dance lessons to children at Highbury all of whom have a range of complex needs and disabilities. The children engage fully with the lessons and are really developing important physical skills, dance skills and improving their confidence and performance skills. Jamie is a fantastic teacher who has such enthusiasm and energy. His lessons are well planned and he always takes time to gather feedback and discuss ideas with staff ensuring that dance reflects wider topic work going on in class. Jamie is a talented teacher who is creative and he is inspiring both staff and children to enjoy and value dance and movement. We feel very lucky to have him as part of our teaching team at Highbury and we highly recommend his services."
Debbie Sweet, Headteacher, Highbury School, Rastrick.
