HIGH QUALITY PE & SPORT
FOR YOUNG PEOPLE
A guide to recognising and achieving high quality PE and sport in schools and clubs.
This new guide focuses on high quality - what it looks like and how schools and sports clubs can achieve it.
It is divided into three main sections:
- A detailed description of the 10 outcomes of high quality PE and sport (as first identified in the document "Learning through PE and Sport"). For each outcome there is a list of indicators that give schools and clubs a picture of what they can expect to see young people doing when they are involved in high quality PE and sport.
- An overview of high quality provision - what leaders, managers, teachers and coaches need to do to achieve high quality PE and sport.
- An overview of effective school-club links - how schools and clubs can work together to achieve high quality and the outcomes they are likely to see as a result.
Leaders, managers, teachers and coaches should use the guidance to evaluate, and then set about improving, the quality of the PE and sport that they provide for young people.
Schools should use it alongside the national curriculum and the Ofsted inspection framework to get an overview of the quality they are achieving.
Clubs should use it alongside Clubmark or other National Governing Body accreditation process.
Improving the quality of their provision and the effectiveness of their school-club links will have a direct impact on the progress young people make and the outcomes they achieve. In turn, improving the quality of PE and sport for young people can make a major contribution to whole-school improvement and club success.
