PPA (Planning, Preparation and Assessment) is the half day release time offered to teachers as part of their contract. Schools offer staff this facility in different ways, but at Kimpton we have developed an imaginative and creative way of releasing most of the teachers on Tuesdays. We invite members of the community with particular skills to work with the children each week. These people are paid members of staff who are CRB checked and have a temporary contract. Each Tuesday the following activities are on offer:
Music, French, Football and Art and Craft in the morning for Infants (KS1)
Football, Visitors, Thinking Skills, Art and Craft and Swimming (summer term only) in the afternoons for the Juniors (KS2)
These activities may change depending on the circumstances of the staff involved.
