While many pupils can access mainstream PE with some support we know that in some cases our approach needs to be more targeted.
AVSSP are also able to support pupils and schools through a range of targeted interventions and programmes all with the aim of increasing access to high quality physical activity opportunities.
SEND only groups and Disability sport clubs are both a great way to ensure your offer is fit for purpose with AVSSP staff able to offer guidance and delivery.
Multi Activity Training Programme (MATP) offers a personalised method of building student competence in fundamental skills through regular training sessions and aspirational events.
