Partner Schools
Developed through consultation with Derby City Council’s Physical Education Adviser, Derbyshire and Derby City Schools Sport Partnerships, Headteachers and the Derbyshire County Football Association, the Partner School Scheme aims to add value to the existing core activity programme currently being delivered by our DCITC coaches.
The Partner School Scheme has been created to enhance and develop new and existing relationships with local schools. This initiative will allow us, as a scheme, to effectively plan our whole schools programme enabling us to forward plan for the whole academic year. Schools who sign up to this new programme will be given priority over non-partner schools.
This initiative will ensure that we deliver a programme of activities relevant to the identified individual needs of each Partner School. This will enable us to address gaps in existing provision and deliver sessions that complement the Every Child Matters agenda.
The Partnership Scheme will allow schools to access the diverse delivery programme offered by the Community Scheme, engaging in activities that complement their existing in-school and extra curricular provision. Partner Schools will also have access to matchday tickets and potential use of Pride Park Stadium. The Derby County Partner School Scheme will also offer continuity of delivery. The ongoing involvement and consultation with School Sports Partnerships will ensure that quality is assured in all delivery areas.
