'I’m using my time outside of training for the Paris Olympics to work on getting my sport back into primary school schedules. What’s being taught at the moment is not really gymnastics.' ✍️ maxwhitlock1 writes for MetroOpinion
My passion project at the moment is trying to improve gymnastics in primary schools so the news of the government’s £600million PE and school sports premium is a huge boost, and a breath of fresh air.to work on getting my sport back into primary school schedules. What’s being taught at the moment is not really gymnastics.
What we are seeing is that lessons have gone so far from what they used to be and that gymnastics has to be brought back to what it was. I really want us to make an impact at grassroots level and so the funding announced this month – more than £600m in the next two academic years, 2023-24 and 2024-25 – to improve the quality of PE and sports in primary schools, helping children benefit from physical activity, is a great help when it comes to inspiring the next generation, which is ultimately what we aim to do.
We shouldn’t be scared. It’s about giving teachers knowledge because if you don’t know how to teach it, sport can be quite daunting.
