Education

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

Partner schools for 2023-2024 include: Beech Hill School (Halifax), Waldsden St Peter's Primary School (Walsden), Warley Town School (Halifax), The Greetland Academy (Greetland), High Park School (Bradford) and Castle Hill School (Huddersfield), 

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 a bespoke, year long staff development programme at High Park School, Bradford.

Feedback from partner schools

"Firstly, Jamie is wonderful, and the students adore every session with him. 
Jamie is flexible with arrangements, planning allows for different groups of students to attend dependent on class timetable. 
The structure of the sessions allows students to consolidate learning, as well as small steps in progression each week and variations on a theme - LOVE THIS! 
Verbal feedback at the end of each dance allows us to verbally share achievements and for Jamie to identify next steps." Staff Team, Castle Hill School, Huddersfield.

" The children have all enjoyed Jamie's lessons and produced really great dances which have been performed for other year groups. Everyone was included and the dance themes link nicely to what children are learning in topic lessons. It's been lovely to invite parents in to watch performances as it has made the learning more purposeful for the children." Deputy Head Teacher, Beech Hill School, Halifax.
