Specialist PPA Provision for Primary Schools
Consistent. Specialist. Curriculum‑Led.
Two subjects. Two specialists. One consistent provision.
Our core offer delivers both music and art as discrete curriculum subjects, each taught by a dedicated specialist.
This ensures pupils receive high-quality, subject-specific teaching, while schools benefit from reliable, well-structured PPA coverage across the week.
What this includes:
- Music delivered by a specialist music practitioner
- Art delivered by a specialist visual arts practitioner
- Separate, progressive curricula for each subject, bespoke to your school and tailored to fit with your themes and values.
- Consistent staff to support relationships and behaviour management
- Central coordination, safeguarding and quality assurance
- Delivery planned for 38 weeks of the academic year
Provision is tailored to school size:
- 1‑form entry: 1 to 1.5 days per week
- 2‑form entry: 2 to 2.5 days per week
- 3‑form entry: 2.5 to 3 days per week
This is our recommended model for schools seeking a broad, high-quality creative curriculum.
