PPA cover provides teachers with valuable time to work on assessments for the children in their class and to plan and prepare their lessons - helping them to provide their students with the best possible education. However, finding cost-effective and reliable cover can be difficult.
Active Superstars know how important it is to find the best, most effective cover for your school’s PPA time, and how difficult it can be to find sustainable and cost-effective external cover from a reliable supplier.
Active Superstars are a unique sports coaching organisation that gives children of all abilities the opportunity to get active and develop new skills. We use sport and physical activity to inspire children to be active throughout the school day, enhancing their ability to learn. Active Superstars can help you to make the most of your PPA cover by providing professional sports coaches to get your children active.
