3. Primary PE Passport
This intriguing tool was designed specifically to help Primary School teachers with the delivery of enjoyable, active and high-quality sessions. From the first day of Reception until the final day of Year 6, each pupil’s progress is tracked and recorded via the app. What’s more, the resource contains a plethora of sport-centric resources and lesson plans, all with the goal of helping schools to embrace “high-quality PE provision that is challenging, progressive and memorable.”
Big thanks @SteveBusbyPEC and @pe_passport for the support you have given us. We’re now graded #outstanding #OFSTED providing ‘high quality teaching with a planned curriculum’ with ‘teachers having excellent subject knowledge of pupils’ skill development in PE’ #Kentmereacademy
