Clare King

There is a lot of focus on changing ‘what’ we teach girls in PE... what about a focus on ‘How’ we teach them. We don’t always remember what we did in a lesson but we remember how we were made to feel telegraph.co.uk/sport/2019/06/…

@ThePEUmbrella @Lee_Sullivan85 The conversation around primary teachers being best placed to teach PE, especially teachers who might have had negative experiences growing up. I often find they teach PE with such care, kindness and creativity. I learn most working with these teachers.

@MrsKingPE @Lee_Sullivan85 Really pleased you enjoyed the conversation, Clare. Any moments in particular that you resonated with? Thanks for listening

@Lee_Sullivan85 A primary teacher vented to me today -the recent requirement for over complicated summative assessment data across all foundation subjects to be recorded and shared with SLT. Adding to massive workload and doing a disservice to the uniqueness of these precious subjects.

Assessment is a contentious topic in PE that many want more clarity and direction on. Read my latest blog on what I believe to be the true purpose of Assessment in PE. I would love to hear your thoughts… pescholar.com/insight/the-pu…

@Lee_Sullivan85 @PEScholar @WannaTeachPE @WillSwaithes @LizDurdenMyers @MrCampbell_PE @leading_in_Ed @PhilMathe79_PE Like it’s been mentioned. If we also make them editable then schools can adapt. I think a starting point and structure is always so useful x

@MrsKingPE @PEScholar @WannaTeachPE @WillSwaithes @LizDurdenMyers @MrCampbell_PE @leading_in_Ed @PhilMathe79_PE I’ve had a go at some holistic student assessment self-reflection worksheets following your feedback. I hope they might support the delivery of assessment in PE. Let me know @MrsKingPE if you’d be up for taking a look and feeding back thoughts before sharing on @PEScholar.

If you could ask someone to create a resource or something downloadable on @PEScholar that would support you in PE, save you time & have a positive impact on your students, what would it be? I will take a look at some suggestions and see if I can help & get creating/writing 👍

@Lee_Sullivan85 @PEScholar @WannaTeachPE @WillSwaithes @LizDurdenMyers @MrCampbell_PE @leading_in_Ed @PhilMathe79_PE More than happy. Send them over 👍

@Lee_Sullivan85 @PEScholar @WannaTeachPE @WillSwaithes @LizDurdenMyers @MrCampbell_PE @leading_in_Ed @PhilMathe79_PE I did watch the course and found it really useful in realising how much assessment is already happening.. but I still think downloadable templates alongside simple generic guidance would help time poor subject leaders.

@MrsKingPE @PEScholar @WannaTeachPE @WillSwaithes @LizDurdenMyers @MrCampbell_PE @leading_in_Ed @PhilMathe79_PE Hi Clare, I agree assessment is a hot topic. Difficult to create a downloadable resource for this as I don’t think it’s a one size fits all. Have you checked out @WillSwaithes Assessment in PE bitesize course on @PEScholar? Really helped me 👍 pescholar.com/courses/assess…

@IAnsonC @LPESSN @afPE_PE But mostly stick to your guts about your provision and don’t be swayed by a few loud voices… there’s a temptation to keep a few happy at the expensive of the quiet majority #harmfreePE

@LPESSN @afPE_PE Think this might be the way… but workload on staff & dept at end of busy term is a factor to consider for us. The workload behind these events is massive. But ❤️ more sport & PE I suppose.

We’ve developed a yearly sports day festival with enjoyment, active participation & inclusivity at the centre. There is some resistance to move to a more traditional ‘watch the best perform’ from others. Thoughts at #edutwitter & PE family… @afPE_PE

@IAnsonC @LPESSN @afPE_PE What about a sports day festival that culminates in optional competitive races? That way you don’t have to organise two events..I’ve seen this format work really well in primary settings… just don’t do a parents race at the end 🫣 🚑 🚑

@IAnsonC @Lee_Sullivan85 @LizDurdenMyers I can only throw it back if it’s a large ball 😬 otherwise I pretend I didn’t see it 🫣

This is an article and a half. At our place we bounce around physical literacy as a term. But @LizDurdenMyers thoughts I’m this piece are just perfect… ‘A ball rolling to you in the park & having the confidence to pick it up, throw it back…’ what an analogy 👏🏼

@Lee_Sullivan85 Love this Lee. Thanks for sharing… really resonates with me on so many levels.

PE teachers… should we strive for ‘excellence’ or is moderate competence enough? Check out my current thinking in my latest blog below. Would love to hear your thoughts… pescholar.com/insight/is-mod…

My first ever football tournament. Turns out football is bloody hard.. I have no left foot. We lost 5 games and drew 1. We loved every minute and the 11 year old girl in me that never got to play was buzzing ⚽️ #bushyparkladies

@GemmaDo83283701 @ppblackman

@LloydAmber @BrentfordFCCST Amber I first met you at Crane Park where you inspired loads of young children everyday. You’ve always worked hard and walked the talk. Thank you also for the opportunity you’ve given my daughter at Brentford You should feel so proud x

Saying goodbye is never easy. Trying to put it into words. I am proud of every single player I have ever coached and I am truly grateful to have had a job I love! Thank you @BrentfordFCCST 🐝⚽️❤️

Pop up pool @bedfontprimary allowing all children in years 3-6 to access swimming 🏊🏻‍♀️ visits welcome from local interested schools. The pool is going to be there for the next 4 weeks!!

I am happy to share with anyone interested my masters thesis on prevention of ACL injuries in the female athlete We are 3-6 times more likely than males to suffer from ACL injury, please see below thread for just some of the reason why

@SRoadleySEND_PE I found secondary school became a lot about friendships for the girls. We once organised a PE trip to Nandos. It meant the girls could hangout with friends they had made through sport. We gave out some awards. We tried to build a sense of community, friendship and belonging.

My children both attend/attended a primary school graded by ofsted (twice) as ‘requires improvement’ they both thrive/ed at this school. I couldn’t fault the education, sense of community and nurture they receive there. Ofsted gradings are a snap shot and not the reality.

@Lee_Sullivan85 @IAnsonC

I spend way too much of my time filming & organising GCSE PE moderation evidence. 😡

@GetSet4Ed @musicedsolution Looking good with the tracksuits off 🙌🙌🙌🙌
