Assessment in Primary PE

Description

Keep it Simple – Keep it Purposeful!

We aim to demystify ‘Assessment in Primary PE’ and show that monitoring pupil progress to inform planning and next steps can and must be simple – so that staff see it’s value and engage. Schools do not need to buy-in expensive software (or hardware!), or ‘experts’ to come in and do it for them, or companies to come in and ‘test’ pupils fitness or other complex assessment systems. We work with YOU to ensure that you embed assessment for learning, making it purposeful, giving it meaning and value for both staff and pupils. Good assessment protocols can motivate and inspire! We believe that teachers should not engage in unnecessary and time-consuming assessments – so make sure that what you assess and record adds value to planning, teaching and learning not time!

We seek to empower YOU to do it for yourselves, building your capacity, your resilience and sustainability. Working directly with you as PE subject leader we help audit and understand where assessment really is in your school and discuss with you where it needs to be. With a new emphasis being proposed by the national curriculum review et al, looking at measuring pupil progress, impact of teaching etc. is incredibly important. Ensure that you know what you are assessing, for whom and why – so that you can USE the data to drive transformations in PE and outcomes for pupils.

Our approach will help subject leaders to

• focus on what children and young people learn through the PE curriculum – including the proposed new national curriculum for PE
• look at outcomes in context
• set out their Intent
• review and audit current assessment practice and devise an action plan for driving change

We will help ensure that leaders understand the limitations of assessment and do not use it in a way that creates unnecessary burdens for staff or learners but that it informs teaching and embeds learning.

Collaborative CPD.
