CINetig

Cinetig was developed through both a user design process with Cardiff Metropolitan University - reviewing international best practice - and interviewing Powys teachers to design a programme which would have a positive and lasting impact for Powys children and young people and members of staff at Impelo. This process highlighted a need for more support to teachers in delivering dance through the expressive arts AOLE of The New Curriculum for Wales.

The programme is an in-school teacher training programme that pairs teachers from schools across Powys with a dance practitioner to increase dance/movement activity either in PE, to explore other curriculum areas, or support class wellbeing. Each school has worked with the dancer to create a bespoke approach.

This first phase has seen projects in 18 schools that have completed their 5 day programme, including:

• 11 English language primary schools

• 2 Welsh language primary schools

• 1 special school

• 4 secondary schools

Working in partnership with Sport Powys, we completed Phase One of this dynamic in-school teacher training project in May 2022. 

We know that it is an extremely exciting - if challenging - time for schools in Wales, with radical reforms to the curriculum starting to roll out.

7 schools joined us for the second phase of this project between September 2022 and March 2023.

We have worked with:

• 6 English language primary schools

• 1 special school

CINETIG will also be delivered in 2 further schools between March 2023 - July 2023
