6. PE at the heart of school life
 How is PE and PA valued in your school and how do you know?
What is visible? tangible? If we visited your school tomorrow what would we see and hear? In he school entrance area / playground / outdoor space/ EYFS area / corridors / staircases / in the hall / dining room / in the classrooms?
What would children (less able /more able / most active / least active), past pupils, teachers, additional school workforce, parents, Governors, local community say?

Aligned to whole school priorities

8. Having an impact b. Teaching, Learning and Assessment
b. Teaching, Learning and Assessment
Does our curriculum meet the needs of our children and support them to be able to choose PALs now and in the future ? (Ref: Physical Literacy definition)
How well are our children doing – are they making progress in a way that enables them to choose PALs – what % are PA beyond the school gates and do we know what they do?
When you observe pupils in PE lessons what qualities and attributes, other than the physical do you see?
What induction do NQTs receive for physical education?
a. Leadership and Management
How do / could SLT support PE and PA throughout the school – what changes would you like to see?
PE Subject Leadership – kudos in school, influence, monitoring of PE, ensuring the quality of T&L
Can you identify PE, School Sport and Physical Activity in the vision for your school?
Is PE recognised as being as important as numeracy and literacy? (The development of gross and fine motor skills supports all areas of the curriculum.)
Does the Subject Lead get time to plan for high quality L&T in Physical Education?
Is there a professional learning programme (CPD) for all teachers?

9. Developing Physical Literacy
“Physical literacy can be described as the motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge and understanding to value and take responsibility for engagement in physical activities for life.”
Everyone can be physically literate
An individual physical literacy journey
Guiding learning through a range of activities
Focus on the whole person
Use the draft ‘What is Physical Literacy?’ paper to explain the main issues highlighted in the slide.
Please emphasise that the term is being used to describe a broad process of development and not just used as a simple analogy between developing literacy and physical literacy.

10. Whole child / whole learner
Looking at physical education a little differently: Ref Bailey and Morley, Leeds Met University
Physical

Social

11. KS1 PE Subject Content
Pupils should develop fundamental movement skills, become increasingly competent and confident and access a broad range of opportunities to extend their agility, balance and coordination, individually and with others. They should be able to engage in competitive (both against self and others) and co-operative physical activities in a range of increasingly challenging situations

12. KS2 PE Subject Content
Pupils should continue to apply and develop a broader range of skills, learning how to use them in different ways and to link them to make actions and sequences of movement. They should enjoy communicating, collaborating and competing with each other. They should develop an understanding of how to improve in different physical activities and sports and learn how to evaluate and recognise their own success.

13. Having a wider impact

14. PE at the heart of school life Examples of good practice

15. PE at the heart of school life Examples of good practice
The curriculum is linked to elements of SMSC education.
Young leaders support physical activity interventions with pupils who lack confidence on other curriculum subjects such as numeracy and literacy.
School Travel Policy encourages scootering, walking and cycling to school.
Challenge week in early September each year helps to baseline assess around relative fitness, ABC and fundamental movement skills.
Pupils are engaged on personal learning journeys in physical education based on fundamental and multi skills approach to teaching and learning in years 1 and 2.
Pupil Premium pupils are encouraged and supported in attending OSHL which enables them to participate in the curriculum, extends their curriculum experience and introduces them to new activities (enriches)
