National Curriculum

We work with schools to improve the provision of gymnastics and ensure the sport is embedded for future generations!

Trusted by hundreds of schools nationwide, our National Curriculum programme has been successfully delivering gymnastics to thousands of children around the UK for the past 10 years, allowing children from all backgrounds and abilities to experience the joy of gymnastics in the comfort of their own school.

At Beth Tweddle Gymnastics by Gymfinity Kids, we offer opportunities for children to try gymnastics in a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment, which can help to raise the profile of PE and sport in your school community. We believe that offering pupils the chance to participate in school lessons, outside competitions and “Have a go” events is essential for broadening their experiences of a range of sports and physical activities.

What do we do at Beth Tweddle Gymnastics by Gymfinity Kids?

At Beth Tweddle Gymnastics, we offer opportunities for children to try gymnastics in a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment, which can help to raise the profile of PE and sport in your school community. We believe that offering pupils the chance to participate in school lessons, outside competitions and “Have a go” events is essential for broadening their experiences of a range of sports and physical activities. Our team is dedicated to working closely with schools to tailor our approach to meet the specific needs and requirements of each individual school.
Our approach also includes embedding physical activity into the school day through encouraging active travel to and from school, active break times, and holding active lessons and teaching. We understand that physical activity is a key element of a healthy lifestyle, and we are committed to supporting schools in their efforts to promote physical activity and healthy living.
In addition to the above, we also offer targeted activities or support to involve and encourage the least active children. Our team is passionate about ensuring that all children have the opportunity to participate in physical activity and experience the benefits of gymnastics.

WHAT IS THE PE AND SPORTS PREMIUM?

The Primary PE and Sport Premium is designed to help children get an active start in life by improving the quality of PE and sports in primary schools. Schools have an important role in supporting children to ensure that they have a positive experience of physical activity and participation in physical activity is established from a young age.
Schools can choose how best to spend this funding to make sustainable improvements, including on teacher training, offering more opportunities for pupils to take part in competition and widening the range of sports for both boys and girls, such as gymnastics.

Don’t just take our word for it...

Beth Tweddle Gymnastics by Gymfinitykids has been recognised by Ofsted, stating:

“Good use has been made of government funding to develop sport and physical education with Olympic medallist Beth Tweddle’s programme visiting the school. Pupils are more involved in competitive sport and competitions than previously and their sporting skills have improved.”

Ofsted Requirements in Ofsted's 2018 report, Chief Inspector Amanda Spielman noted:

“Commonly, when schools had offered specialist training on specific physical activities (such as gymnastics, swimming and dance), this had increased teachers’ confidence to teach. Some schools reported that teachers being more knowledgeable had increased take-up of that sport.”
