by Val Sabin

This highly informative and unique reference manual propels the P.E. Co-ordinator / Head of Department very quickly through the administration and review processes whilst setting high quality standards in the P.E. policy, its procedures and objectives.

There are systems and master sheets for long, medium and short term planning. Minimum Expected Standards of Performance for all areas of activity in the National Curriculum linked to attainment target levels set out in great detail what the majority of pupils should be able to achieve by the ages 5, 7, 9, 11, 14, 16 and for G.C.S.E.

There are 6 different assessing, recording and reporting systems for teachers to choose from and adopt as necessary. For Physical Development in the foundation stage there are progressive learning objectives and suggested teaching activities and strategies.

Step by step guidance on policy writing for primary schools and Policy and Procedure writing for secondary schools is followed by an example P.E. policy for a primary school.

Finally, to prepare schools for inspections, key questions are presented in the form of a Pre-OFSTED inspection checklist.
