Supporting your coaches with proper induction and ongoing development will be a very positive step towards sustainability. Where possible, Primary Schools should support coaches to be able to deliver across a number of sports, summer and winter, so they can be deployed throughout the year.
To ensure the primary school PE and School Sport funding is sustainable, coaches should be upskilling teachers to deliver curriculum time physical education independently in the future. Using coaches to deliver additional activities outside curriculum time is another way to ensure your school can benefit from sports coaches.
If timetables allow, it may also be practical to work in partnership with other local schools, providing a coach with more coaching hours and making their work more sustainable and cost-effective. Although at first sight this may not appear to benefit the individual school, it could make the difference in ensuring availability of coaching skills.
