NQTs and GTPs

Provision for NQTs and GTPs in primary schools is by way of the relevant KCC courses.  NQTs wishing to consolidate their understanding of PE teaching should book themselves onto the 3 day  ‘Help! I’m not a Specialist’ course.  GTPs are strongly advised to book places on the 3 day ‘Understanding How to Teach PE’ course as this will be the only opportunity for them to access input on how to deliver the PE curriculum.
