High Quality Physical Education
High quality PE and Sport is where leadership, curriculum, extra curricular, physical resources and structural mechanisms enable children to maximise their potential and increase their knowledge, skills and understanding.
It then provides opportunities to enable children to improve performance, attainment, participation and success in line with their capabilities.
The following resources, tools and National high quality PE publications on these pages can be used to assist School Leaders, Heads of Department and Subject Leaders to monitor and evaluate the impact of (PROCESS) PE leadership; curriculum; approaches to teaching, learning and assessment for learning upon learners (PRODUCT/OUTCOMES). This is divided into 3 main catagories;
- HQ PESS and School Leaders
- Subject Leaders (HOD's/PE Coordinators/PLT's)
- Class Teachers
Physical education and school sport: making a difference!
Excellent QCA guidance documents and publications are now available to download which provide details of the changes that successful schools have made to their teaching, learning and assessment practices/strategies and curriculum programmes in order to:
- raise standards within Physical Education and across the whole school
- increase participation
- increase learners involvement in and understanding of healthy active lifestyles
- develop High Quality PESS that raises standards of achievement across the curriculum
- improve learners behaviour and attitudes towards learning
- develop learners` leadership skills and ownership of learning
All of the schools that participated in the QCA investigation have had the vision to experiment with new ideas and approaches.
They have redesigned their curriculum, changed teaching approaches,given more ownership of learning to pupils and students, introduced new activities,re - trained staff - accessing HQ training through the Professional Development Programme, purchased new resources and re- organised time and spaces to develop and maintain a High Quality Physical Education experience for all.
