them why they do PE and what they get from it?

Whilst watching this video, reflect on WHY PE?
If I stopped one of your students in the corridor and asked them why they do PE and what they get from it, what would they say? What would you like all your students to say in response to that question?

What is your vision & purpose of PE?
Diamond 9 activity
Devil’s advocate: PE has no purpose!
At the moment, assuming a student has 2
hours of physical education every year from
Year 1 to Year 11… they will have received
over 1000 hours by the time they leave school.
“That time could be much better devoted to
eBacc subjects of value that contribute to exam
results, league tables & achievement of
students.”
Most important

TASK : Work in pairs to create a pyramid of key elements young people will lose if they don’t do PE in school
Outcomes of World Leading PE 4
Your vision for PE
Does your PE vision reflect your diamond 9? How does it contribute to the whole school vision? How can you ensure it is a shared vision?
So what next……?
