"To provide high quality PE and sport provision to enrich the lives of all young people"

As a result of the unprecedented pressure being placed upon teenage girls by society, CoachUnlimited has devised a programme called STRONG GIRLS CAN. It aims to empower and inspire teenage girls in the UK by providing strong female role models, from different walks of life, who will help to begin to look at who they are, why they should be proud and confident and how to allow their own personality – whoever that may be – to shine.

Smart Moves

Smart Moves is a motor skills development programme aimed at Reception to KS1.

Programme Outline

A 3 part comprehensive package consisting of:

– A Screening session, with 2 staff provided, to assist in the early identification of children with motor co-ordination difficulties through a series of tasks based on the PE curriculum.

– Weekly teaching for either full year or half year. Using an extensive activity bank related to each of the PE curriculum areas. These activities can be differentiated according to the ability of the child, allowing the children to develop key physical skills at their own pace.

– A CD-Rom with printable resources

The programme also provides a flexible means of ongoing evaluation and monitoring, tailored to each individual child.

“The assessments built into the Smart Moves programme have
picked up noticeable improvements in the children and highlighted
differences between the children who have been doing it since week one
and those who are newer to school and haven’t had as long. We will now
extend the programme to a full year.”
