All teachers work together to strengthen their delivery of different PE strands every year. All teachers use the PSSI lesson plans and the ‘Move Well, Move Often’ resources to guide their delivery of the PE curriculum. Members of staff have undertaken CPD in Physical Education during the past 12 months. The new knowledge, ideas and resources from these courses have been shares amongst staff members.

Our school teaches the Land PAWS Water Safety Programme in the senior classroom each year.
Each child’s progress in PE is discussed with parents at Parent Teacher meetings and feedback is included in children’s reports at the end of the year.

Our school carries out a PE equipment audit once a year. When this is completed, resources are clearly labelled, well organised and easily accessible. Old and broken equipment is disposed of.
