Why choose us
We work extremely hard to ensure that we provide a great service for the schools we work with, and this has enabled us to become experts in providing of PPA cover and educational providers. Our approach to the service we provide is focused around the needs and requirements of the school we are working with, so before we provide any lessons at your school, our professional and friendly office staff will speak to you about how you would like us to deliver them.
Our partnership
Our teachers will fully integrate into your school and become part of your team. So, while we take accountability for all their day-to-day management and CPD, you have ample visibility of everything we do. You’ll have a devoted partnership manager who’ll share with you all our planning, assessing and reporting information, including data on the children’s progress. You can use then this as evidence for your own self-assessment and reporting.
Our flexible service
Our specialists can be with you for anything from lunchtime, half-day, full day to a full week. You can have one specialist or as many as you need. You can have specialists in a variety of subjects, or more than one specialist covering the same subject. For example, when you have more than one of our specialists to cover more than one classes, you can release several class teachers at the same time so they work together on their planning. Whatever your school needs, we’ll be happy to help.
Our quality assurance
We measure the quality of what we do in much the same way you do. We observe all our staff once every term, assessing them on the quality of their teaching (including behaviour management), planning and their overall service to you. We’ll ask for feedback from the children and from you.
We use detailed criteria for doing this, which we’ll share with you. You’re also welcome to add any criteria you’d like us to use.
Our value for money
We give you outstanding value for money. We don’t just provide you with cover and walk away. We take care of all the management, HR and CPD our specialists need. This leaves you more time to look after your core team and of course, the children in your school. Constant pressure on budgets means many schools have had to cut back on activities like drama and music. This means the children miss out on the added value these subjects bring. With Active Learners our children won’t have to miss out because we teach these subjects while we cover your PPA time. Along with all this, you can use our lunchtime and after school clubs to generate a substantial income.
