PE Curriculum Support
Empower teachers to raise primary PE standards and activity levels in a way that lasts.
A primary PE mentoring programme designed by teachers for teachers that equips learners with the tools and expertise to increase the quality of PE.
A proven CPD solution to increase the confidence of teachers and the quality of PE.
More than a mere 1-day training course or standalone activity, PE Curriculum Support takes a holistic approach to embed PE across your entire school.
Expert mentors provide ongoing support that’s tailored to teachers. Mentor and teacher work together to identify areas for development and create a personalised training programme that includes collaborative teacher activity, formative planning and assessment, and expert primary school PE input. Teachers get professional development, mentoring, training and resources to help them teach PE and sport more effectively to all pupils.
The programme is underpinned by robust data and constantly evolving to meet the demands of the UK's primary schools. It addresses DfE Professional Development Standards and is the only programme of its kind recognised by the Association for Physical Education Professional Development Board.

“PE Curriculum Support has helped both teachers to develop their understanding of the PE curriculum and improved key skills such as breaking down sports and skills to teach the age and abilities of children they have in their class. It also enabled them to be more creative in their approach and improve behaviour management during PE lessons.”
“At first I was a little nervous, however, it soon became clear that I could move at a pace comfortable and useful to me, getting as much or as little support as I needed.I found the lesson plans really easy to follow and adapt and I soon grew in confidence.The lessons progress clearly and the children are engaged and learning safely. The steps for my development were clear, manageable and I feel that I am able to manage the pace of PE lessons better now as a result.”
