Ark Aryton Primary have been named the Premier League Primary stars April Spotlight School, recognising the positive impact of the programme across both the Spring 1 and Summer 1 terms.
During Spring 1 we delivered a range of interventions, PE support with class teachers and Anti-discrimination workshops . The Pe support with class teachers has assisted with planning and preparing for Pe lessons as well as increased the confidence in class teachers Pe delivery.
Ark Aryton class teacher Miss Barrett puts it like this;
‘I have a better understanding of narrating skills and using PE links in warmups. I have more confidence in my ability to teach, I have been reassured that I’m using correct terminology and instructions.
The English interventions were delivered to year 3&4 children and the pupils have shown improvements in key reading skills, including fluency, accuracy, and comprehension. Regular, targeted support has helped to build confidence, with the children becoming more willing to read aloud in confidence to their classmates.
Year 6 received the Ant-discrimination workshops. The children engaged positively in anti-discrimination workshops and have demonstrated a growing understanding of key themes such as equality, respect, and inclusion. Pupils have shown increased awareness of different perspectives and are becoming more confident in discussing important topics and real life experiences.
Premier League Primary Stars Joint Coordinator Patrice Link, praised the impact of the programme at the school, saying:
I’m extremely pleased to have seen the children’s drive to improve in their reading and PE skills. They are becoming more engaged with a wider range of texts and are showing a growing ability to discuss and understand what they read. In addition, the children have shown a consistently positive attitude towards their PE lessons. They participate enthusiastically, work well as part of a team, and demonstrate good sportsmanship. Overall, they have become very ambitious and connected!
