SPECIALIST PPA COVER

Make Every Lesson Count

Your Teachers Need PPA Time.
Your Pupils Deserve Quality Cover.

PPA time is an opportunity to bring new experiences, expertise and inspiration into the classroom. With specialist-led lessons delivered by experienced practitioners, pupils can explore new subjects, develop new skills and discover new passions. From Art and Drama to Music, MFL and PE, our specialists share their expertise and enthusiasm to spark curiosity and broaden pupils’ horizons.

5 Specialist Subjects.

Every PPA lesson is delivered by a passionate, qualified subject specialist, giving pupils access to high-quality teaching across art, drama, MFL, music and PE.

Absences Covered.

If your regular practitioner is absent, our dedicated cover team will step in. No last-minute scramble for your school and no disruption to pupils’ learning.

Quality Assurance.

Your practitioner is supported by our internal Quality Assurance team, with regular visits throughout the year to ensure high-quality, consistent teaching.

Our PPA Cover Subjects

Our subject specialists deliver PPA cover across Art, Drama, MFL, Music and PE, bringing each subject to life through lessons planned around your curriculum, your school and your pupils.

A Smarter Way To Deliver PPA Cover:

PPA Carousels

Our PPA carousel give schools the flexibility to deliver multiple specialist subjects across multiple year groups in a single day.

It’s a smarter way to coordinate PPA cover and guarantees teachers dedicated time for planning, preparation and assessment, while pupils experience a diverse and inspiring range of specialist-led lessons.

Each practitioner teachers for one hour before swapping to another class, creating a coordinated timetable that makes it possible to cover multiple classes with a small team of practitioners.

What has impressed us the mst is the strong relationships LSC staff have built with our children. They have fitted seamlessly into our school community and quickly become familiar, trusted faces within the school.

LSC has been an invaluable partner for our school's PE programme. Their reliability and professionalism ensure that we always have qualified, friendly staff to teach PE. The engaging and well-structured lessons have not only boosted the quality of our PE curriculum but also led to an increase in student participating.

The practitioners are very much part of the Springwell family and not only support the children but provide CPD support for the staff. They are the best coaches we have worked with.

We've come to trust that LSC can arrange, organise and deliver these lessons consistently every week.
For us, it just makes sense to have a fresh face to deliver the PE, music and MFL.
