Who are we?
Caroline Holder
Company Owner/ Lead PE Consultant
Having completed my headship qualification myself, I understand the challenges and requirements of whole school development. I love it when I manage to help a school support their school objectives weaved against the whole school development plan.
The latest thing I have been enjoying working on is our YouTube videoing producing our ‘9 tricks…’ series with my own young family and their friends. Seeing children engaged and motivated to improve their own physical skills and having fun is something I think will really benefit progress in PE and lifelong health and fitness.
Emma Shaw
During the last year I have worked as a Physical Education Tutor for Accelerate Learning Services. In this role, I have supported learning practitioners in achieving the best possible outcomes for children through a range of effective course packages, consultancy and resources and as a result I have assisted many delegates in different schools within different local authorities. Throughout my time as tutor I have prepared and delivered many presentations, modelled lessons and provided bespoke advice to delegates. I regularly work closely with subject leaders and members of the Senior Leadership Team, where I advise, give effective feedback to support their needs.
