As VisionED’s founder and director, Martin Radmore has been involved in Educational Improvement for more than 28 years and before that was a PE Teacher / Subject Leader in schools for 6 years.
VisionED is about inspiring you to create that vision, the “Bi
g Picture” – what you want to achieve in and through PE. Without a vision, schools can struggle to deliver a coherent and consistent high quality curriculum offer. We think of it as a jigsaw – the need for the picture on the lid of what you are trying to put together – the Vision for PE and your school. We help you put in the four corners, identify the frame and finally build that picture thus creating your vision based on your pupils needs, national and local drivers and agendas. This is why we use a jigsaw piece logo and have continued to use it with our re-branding as we celebrate 8 years as VisionED. The four colours reflect the domains of learning ‘Physical, Emotional, Social and Cognitive’ and are reflective of ‘Head, Heart, Hands, Health’ and ‘Move, Think, Feel, Connect.’
So let us help YOU create that vision, that picture – it’s what we do! We’re good at it and with so much change on the horizon – a new national curriculum, changes to assessment, new Ofsted framework, significant changes to PESSPA landscape (e.g. PE and School Sport Partnership Networks) we can help you navigate what is truly important to ensure YOUR pupils get the best experience, entitlement and YOUR staff get the best support they need to achieve this.
VisionED is a fully accredited learning centre able to offer specialised national qualifications from the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) in
Primary PE through Gateway Qualifications one of the UK’s largest Awarding Bodies. Martin wrote them and so as such is able to offer a real depth of knowledge and support to all our learners and over the years has qualified well over a 1,000 individuals with the national qualifications in Teaching and Learning in PE in Primary Schools (Level 3) and the national qualification in Leadership and Management in PE in Primary Schools (Level 4). Take a look at them and see how they could support and help you, your colleagues or school.
As a former specialist and senior local authority PE adviser with Norfolk County for nearly 20 years, Martin contributed significantly to the educational landscape in the county and nationally. He was nominated for and won the national award for Leadership and Influence within the PE and school sport landscape in 2012 and his passion for physical education burns as strongly today as it ever has.
Martin also worked as a teacher and adviser in Bedfordshire as well as a lecturer in Initial Teacher Training Education – ITTE (PE and sport) prior to his time in Norfolk. He also worked in the commercial sector being very successful in managing the sports division of Europe’s largest educational tour operator at the time. This commercial experience helped him develop many skills around sustainability and financial acumen. He left this industry to return to his passion of teaching and making a difference for children and young people, in and through PE.
Physical Education is his passion and it underpins his belief that every child is entitled to receive a high quality experience in PE which will engage and inspire them. If we can ensure that we can build upon the tremendous hard work of primary teachers to date, the huge investment of government funding and provide all teachers, coaches, HLTA’s, Cover Supervisors and educationalists with high quality CPD we will make a huge sustainable impact. The beneficiaries – the young people in our schools! So why not join with us, work with us to provide every child with high quality PE.

Our most frequently requested and delivered course?
That’s easy – Gymnastics, especially the progression from floor onto apparatus. Our large apparatus course / CPD in your school looks at how to use the apparatus you have both safely and effectively, how to maximise learning, engagement and participation. Twilight CPD is the most common and we travel up and down the country delivering this in all types of settings – academies, infant schools and independent schools. Our approach is simple yet effective, boosts teacher confidence and enables staff to make those progressions to apparatus as well as making gymnastics as a whole more accessible, engaging and enjoyable. Our resources which we leave for you support you further and can be easily adapted and edited to feature your school’s logo etc. as they are left on a USB. Our Twilight Staff CPD – looking at getting the wall bars out and using apparatus in gymnastics is incredibly popular – click HERE to see more details and to BOOK your school’s CPD.
“I thought – I’ve already completed a gymnastics course, what will I get from this? Well, a lot! The course helped with developing understanding of the importance of PE, included achievable practical elements and understanding of the elements of movements in a clear way. Thank you!” Claire Carter, KS1 Teacher – Pickering Infant School, N. Yorkshire.
“The demonstrations and use of equipment was excellent as was how to use the equipment effectively and building on prior lessons. The tutor was very informative and engaging!” Megha Visavadia, PE Subject Leader. “Clear, motivating and supportive for all staff!” Victoria Storey, Headteacher Chesterton Primary, Cambs.
Outdoor and Adventurous Activities (OAA) is a hot second with more and more schools looking to use the ‘hidden gem’ of the PE curriculum to help deliver more holistic developments and agenda. Ofsted believe that it has a bigger and unfilled role to play in primary schools and we work with schools and others (such as The National Institute of Teaching and Education) to provide CPD and training in this brilliant area of learning. A far greater emphasis is to be placed on ‘Outdoor Education’ moving forward as a result of the Curriculum and Assessment Review and also the proposed new national curriculum for PE – so get ahead of the curve!

“Outdoor learning (OAA) is so much more than orienteering! There were so many skills covered and taught in fun ways! It brought OAA alive and much more meaningful than I first thought!” C. Appleby The Arbours Primary Academy September 2025

“Martin’s subject knowledge was perfect for the session and gave our MSA’s a real feeling of enthusiasm and excitement at putting into practice simple but effective games with all our pupils, helping to keep them active and having fun!”
“Fun, practical – it worked so well with all our different staff. The usefulness and quality of support materials was excellent. The training will help provide more activity at lunchtimes for our pupils”
“Thank you! I wasn’t sure what to expect but that was great! It is so nice to feel that we are being included and consulted”
“We can really use what you have shown us. Thank you for helping us and the school see our role in more of a positive way!”

We also get feedback like this for our longer professional develop courses:
“Martin, thank you so much for your amazing words and coaching as always. You inspire me to learn more and always get better. It is really nice to hear others opinions as it is so easy to get caught up in your own world, particularly in Spain. Thank you again so much and I too wish it was face to face as I know we could talk for hours regarding all of this. I am LOVING this course and literally use parts of it on a daily basis. It is helping me become not only a better leader but also someone with a bigger vision and understanding. It is inspiring me to learn even more.”
“I really enjoyed the course and found it so useful. Right from the initial zoom meeting with my tutor, Martin, I was made to feel comfortable and relaxed about the course. Being from an American School I was concerned about how the different approaches, curriculum etc. would work but I was assured and re-assured by all the feedback and support as I went through the course. Martin listened and took the time to understand what PE was all about in our school and our curriculum which was totally reassuring. The course layout is easy to follow, progressive and sequenced to facilitate easy progression with everything I needed to hand or identified as an in-school resource. Feedback to all the written tasks was fast! Sometimes within a matter of minutes but always within the 48 hours window set by VisionED. This feedback was always thorough and it helped me progress and develop as it was more than just about how I answered the task – it was about me and developmental ideas. I feel that I have really developed my practice as a teacher of PE, my knowledge, understanding and skills and not just as a specialist teacher of swimming, my current role – but also now as a teacher of physical education in the school. I really enjoy taking PE and my confidence has improved. I have had great support from my tutor and staff here at The American School in London. I would thoroughly recommend the course to anyone working in the primary sector, teaching assistant, cover supervisor, instructor, coach, or teacher! Thank you VisionED!”
