00:00Today is Bewbush Primary School's sports day where myself from the PLPS department which

00:06is Premier and Primary Stars and then we've had a load of coaches have come to support

00:11the school in their sports day. We've helped run some of the field events and then as you

00:15can see got involved in a colour run just to bring the school together and have a right

00:20old laugh to finish their sports day. With the children, not many of them can say oh

00:25yeah my sports day that I did at my primary school, the local football club that I follow

00:30and go to watch on the weekend, the coaches all came in and got involved with our sports day

00:35to help run it and also to make it a memorable one for us that they can then take with them

00:40as they go into secondary school and beyond. With this school we do PSHE programmes for the students,

00:46maths programmes, we also work with a lot of the teachers in supporting them in PE and improving

00:52their confidence and delivery of PE across all sorts of sports and topics within the subject

00:58and then we run lunchtime clubs here, after school clubs here, we also link with the youth club just

01:04over the road, so a lot of the students here recognise both myself and the other coaches within the

01:10community department. Having the Praudy Town support for the children is huge, partly because it inspires

01:17so many of our young boys and girls actually to go on to that profession. Children who potentially find

01:23making the right decisions in class a little bit tricky have got that inspiration that if they work

01:28at it they really make those right behaviour choices, there is a career ahead of them and even past football

01:33there's a career going out into the wider community. From teaching point of view it's been amazing today,

01:39I've got children in my class who are a bit nervous of doing the colour run and it meant it freed me up so

01:44that I, as you can see, was able to join in, I had a child attached to each hand and we were able to go

01:49round together so the staff could join in to support the more anxious children because we had amazing

01:54volunteers so it just made for an amazing community event.
