PE Lessons - PPA Cover
PPA is vital for any teacher's week, especially, with teachers workloads always increasing in primary schools, whether it is marking, valuable planning and preparation or maybe attending an essential meeting or course.
We completely understand, some schools struggle to find a trustworthy, cost effective solution to their PPA cover but that's why we only offer devoted, experienced and passionate coaches that have an enthusiasm to deliver quality PPA cover.
We are happy to cater to your needs, whether you want us in every week or just once to cover a one off absence we guarantee to run a high quality lessons with a vital combination of engaging the children whilst learning vital skills having fun.
There are numerous ways we can offer to help, as we understand every school is different so we do our best to cater to every circumstance, we can come in for a whole day and run multiple lessons, or a few mornings or afternoons in the week if the lessons are split up, here is an example of how we would operate in these different circumstances:

Lunchtime Games
Are you tired of sorting out little arguments of who won or ‘I didn’t get caught’? or even having to ban certain games such as bulldog!
Well we feel our Lunchtime games scheme is essential to schools in providing children with a controlled environment to exercise. By offering free and paid opportunities to get active during school time, facilitating the children to hit their 30 Minutes of Physical Activity. This also doubles as extra lunchtime staff cover, thus making it even more cost effective as it frees up members of staff to have a much needed lunch break or time for PPA.

After School/ Before School Clubs
"THANKS TO COACH JAMES.... My son has been attending JR football club for a couple of terms now. He's really enjoyed joining in... considering he didn't know anything about football before he started!! (Which I was concerned about) but because the sessions are fun and inclusive, it's obvious my son gets alot out of the sessions. Thanks Coach James for creating a safe and happy environment for our kids.’"

We offer after school and before school clubs to provide extra sport as we know how important it is for children to get plenty of exercise! It is also a fantastic opportunity for children to have fun playing organised football with their friends. We encourage all abilities to get involved as our sessions cater to everyone, our main is to have smiles on the faces of every child at the end of the session. We provide the perfect mix of fun and development in our after-school club sessions!

Wraparound Care
With Busy Working Parents we appreciate the requirement for wraparound care. Therefore, we offer Breakfast and After school clubs to fulfil this need for childcare!
For our Breakfast clubs there is a lot of evidence to back up the fact that 15 minutes of physical and mentally stimulating activity in the morning increases focus throughout the day, so along with our healthy, nutritious, and tasty breakfasts we hope to ensure your child is best prepared for the school day ahead.
Our food is low in added sugar and rich in proteins and fibre, helping to extend attention span, concentration, and memory.
We appreciate after a long day at school children will be slightly fatigued, our After School Clubs offer a variety of activities to counter this:
- Creative activities e.g. drawing, colouring and Lego building.
- Physical activities e.g. playing some organised sport, or just tagging games
- Homework help corner – to ensure children get their homework done and have necessary homework help, so it free’s time up for parents to spend time with their children.
- Quiet areas, where they might just want to relax and read a book!
We try to keep the days as fresh and exciting as possible with different activities Monday – Friday such as some biscuit decorating etc!
We encourage all children to participate in some physical activity as we feel it is important to get exercise, but, again we try to offer lots of variety on this to ensure all children feel comfortable to take part. This should aid to improve their social skills, self-esteem, balance, coordination, and wellbeing and most of all build that positive bond with sport!

"We have been so impressed by James and his team at JR Football. Over the last year, they have set up and run a number after school sports clubs which have been extremely popular with our children. All the coaches have been punctual and polite and have developed positive relationships with staff, pupils and parents. We are very pleased to be associated with JR Football."
