SAQ® at Felmore Primary School

Over a hundred pupils from Year 3 & 4 at Felmore Primary School, Essex have been receiving specialist in-house training in SAQ® Speed Agility Quickness following funding by their PDM, Steve Radford.

The mini-project highlighted the needs to educate a child as a 'good mover' before engaging their development in sports specific skills. Their programme is part of a pilot project based for all schools in Essex's School Sports Partnerships to undertake use SAQ®

Feedback from both Staff and Pupils informed the project that:

100% of all Staff loved and recognised how brilliant the SAQ® Continuum is.

100% of Staff expressed a wish to definitely implement SAQ® as part of their PE curriculum.

100% of all Staff enjoyed the SAQ® experience and stated how amazed they were with the improvement shown within such a short period of time. Also how engaged their pupils were at all times , especially their 'non PE minded' pupils.

One Teacher of Year 4 students even said that it was the best PE Training Programme she had seen in 35 years of teaching:

On a recent 'wet play' lunchtime, pupils asked for more SAQ® Sessions. A session was easily arranged in the school's 'Eden Project' style dome, a space usually used for story reading or intervention work. Once again this proved that with SAQ® quality education and activities can be conducted at any time and in any environment!!
