Valuing the impact of high quality PE across a primary school

What were the priorities? Staff-Staff-Staff-Staff-Staff-Staff Go some way to prevent the terror Show the teachers and TAs that they were capable of delivering high quality PE Resource PE so that practitioners felt good about teaching it Allow PE to have an impact on recruitment

Ensuring PE is seen as high profile Ensure enough time is given to the subject Enter every activity that we could, with properly prepared and equipped children Celebrate success (assemblies) Use the school and our expertise to train others (LEA, and Scitt Training) Provide wide range of activities ourselves rather than use coaches

Ensuring PE influences the wider curriculum Improve behaviour with targeted groups (Rockitball, Spirit of Cricket, Olympic Values) Aussie Rules Footy Assigned a teacher to find ways to link PE to Maths English and Science Outdoor Learning and Early Years activities Sport Based Comenius Project Link climbing to literacy

Embrace the natural ability to move. Nursery and reception children naturally move and are creative. It’s no good starting with KS2 (not top down, must have a whole school approach) Integral part of SDP Headteacher must value the place of PE in the whole curriculum (WE ARE NOT A SATS FACTORY!) Raise the profile across school. Pupil PE kit, staff kit, lunchtime supervisors, team kit.

What was the impact? (measured or not) Pupils’ positive perceptions in discussion and questionnaire Behaviour within school (positive self image) Parents’ perceptions Children adopting healthy and active lifestyles Increasing school role Positive perceptions from staff (including dinner nannies) Huge levels of participation in after school activities Success and f…….. participation (winning and losing) Ofsted Data Oh yes… raising standards Sustainability
