    Slide 10:Impact evidence

    From the children: Lessons are more interesting and more advanced Different people are at different levels. Everyone gets something to try but those who are more flexible get harder things My class teacher is brilliant but she cannot know everything about everything. Kathryn is a gymnast as well as a teacher and she helped us to do a lot of things we could not normally do in lessons. I know about body tension now, Kathryn showed me different ways to do things.

    Slide 11:From the staff: Wow! Where do I start? Im so ashamed of what I taught before! My knowledge has really developed, I feel much better about teaching it by MILES and the children have loved it and have thrived on the challenge. The impact is incredible in the weeks that Katherine has been supporting I have learned more than any text book could tell me very visual and explained progression so clearly. The children were so interested and fully engaged, such a valuable training opportunity for all the teachers thank you.

    Slide 12:From the HMI Consultant: "Many teachers lack the technical competence required to teach basic gymnastics skills or to applythe full range of knowledge that allows them todeliverlessons with the flair that makes work come alive for pupils. Progress in pupils'learning will be inadequate if the teacher's knowledge is not good enough to promote challenging and progressive workthat matches the needs of individuals and groups". Recognising this problem Manor (Mansfield) School Sports Partnership inNottinghamshireis using funding provided through the PESSCL strategy to employa specialist gymnastics teacher to work alongside primary colleagues. Even after a very short period of sixlessons, teachers are able to useappropriate technicallanguageto define shapes and movement patterns and to identify some of the weaknesses and strengths in the performances of pupils. They recognise thattheirown subject knowledgeis vital to the quality of work produced.Their confidencehasincreased as a consequence ofacquiringa better understanding of the activityand the impact on the standards and achievement of pupils can clearly beseen".
