Southmead PE Portfolio

The Southmead PE VisionWhere do we want to go?

‘To achieve the physical potential of every child and develop their confidence to contribute to the health and well being of themselves and others within the

school and local community’

• Leading school for PE in the borough!• Long term plan – making progress year on year

• Short term impact – we need active, engaging lessons• Raise standards in PE – consistently good by Autumn 2, aim for outstanding

for Spring 2 term – using the coaching cycle• Children to fulfil their potential in PE

• Transfer life skills that PE can help develop

We were delighted to be awarded the AfPE Quality Mark with Distinction in July 2014. It

was a very rewarding process, which helped us to self-evaluate our PE provision, build on and

improve all areas of the subject so that children at Southmead can achieve their physical

potential.

AfPE Quality Mark with Distinction – July 2014

PE in the New Curriculum

KS2• Develop fundamental movement skills – running, jumping,

throwing, catching in catching and in isolation• Develop flexibility, strength, technique, control and balance

[for example, through athletics and gymnastics] • Outdoor and adventurous activity challenges both individually

and within a team • Compare their performances with previous ones and

demonstrate improvement to achieve their personal best

• Highlight and reference Agility, Balance and Coordination core skills to children – improve

PE vocabulary• Develop basic skills through application of

commentate!

KS1• Develop fundamental movement skills – running, jumping,

throwing, catching• Access to a broad range of opportunities to extend their agility,

balance and coordination• They should be able to engage in competitive (both against self

and against others)• Participate in team games, developing tactics; perform dances

using simple movement patterns.

Using Physical Literacy

Our delivery of Physical Education aims to develop competence in all lessons using the Singapore teaching

model. We want our children to excel in a broad range of physical activities by being physically active for sustained

periods of time. We will provide opportunities for children to engage in competitive sports and activities. We will

strive to educate the children so that they can lead healthy, active lives now and in the future.

How do we ensure that the objectives on the NC are covered at Southmead?

• Lesson observations• Learning walks• Innovative lessons –

Singapore Model• Broad curriculum

• Cross-curricular opportunities

• Dance themed days• Forest days

• Oral rehearsal• After school clubs• Intra house

competitions

• Healthy eating• Swimming lessons• Weekly competitive

sport opportunities for all children

Southmead Planning

Long term plans - we aim to try and match the PE as closely as possible to the children’s picture curriculum. Here

the Year 2’s are creating a rainforest dance

Individual lesson plans: Lessons are planned with the aim to teach

the children the skills before moving onto game scenarios in

Key Stage 2.

Cross-Curricular LinksAt Southmead Primary School,

we believe that the children learn best through a cross curricular approach where they can apply

their knowledge to various subjects. These two photos show some Year 4 children measuring

their long jumps in PE.

The introduction of Forest Days in September 2014 was aimed at

specifically improving boys writing and involved giving them opportunities

through physical activity to get excited about their writing. For example, in Year 3 the children had an archery afternoon

– based on their Anglo-Saxon picture.

Opportunities to learn about different cultures are provided through physical activity and visitors – such as Darren

Lee (dance). For example, this year he worked with each year group to create a specific dance related to Chinese New Year. The children then performed it to

their parents in the afternoon in a special assembly.

Assessment opportunities in PE

Through the use of the Singapore Model, assessment in PE is always

ongoing. Teachers are encouraged to keep some post it notes on them at all

times to formatively assess as the lesson progresses. The use of photos is used to capture the children making progress in their learning. Each child also has a PE folder which can show what they have

been learning about and how they have been developing.

“The introduction of the new school iPads has already has been great for assessment

opportunities in PE. Children can record their own

performance and view it back, commenting on ways to

improve next time around” Mr Symms

“We challenge the children to self assess their own performance and

be competitive against themselves” – Mr Mac

The Coaching Cycle - CDP for all Teachers The coaching cycle has been developed for Mr Symms

to work specifically alongside members of staff to provide ongoing CPD training. It works on a 6 week

cycle:Week 1: Mr Symms delivers a lesson to that teachers

classWeek 2: The teacher takes a part of the lesson – e.g.:

the warm-upWeek 3-5: Mr Symms and the teacher team teach

Week 6: Mr Symms observes a whole lesson and gives feedback

Feedback is given informally after every session, as well as help with planning.

In what ways did the work of the PE Specialist have a positive impact on the expertise and confidence of staff?

“I have gained a much broader repertoire of PE games and activities which will definitely help me make my PE lessons

more active and exciting”

“As part of my professional development as an NQT, I was given support by Mr. Symms to plan and teach well-structured, high- quality, P.E lessons over a period of four weeks. This

support took a variety of forms.”

“Mr. Symms took time each week to coach me whilst demonstrating what outstanding P.E

lessons look like at Southmead. Coaching was highly beneficial and helped me to develop my

practice. Throughout the course of this coaching, Mr. Symms modelled lessons, which I

observed, then the roles were reversed, as I taught, he then observed me to provide me with feedback on my strengths and areas for

development in my practice.”

“Furthermore, we have P.E folders in place within Year 4 to help the children see the progress which they are making over

the year. Inside the folders, we keep photographs of the children in action, performing high-level skills and being engaged and on task. As well, we keep competitive cards

which require the children to try and beat their own personal best.”

The Coaching Cycle - CDP for all Teachers

“I have taken a lot from this experience and have implemented it within my own practice for example: I always aim high with my expectations of the children during lessons, I use ICT as a support and stimulus for the pupils, I am sure to

model the skill which is being taught to a high level (by myself or an able pupil) and I am keen to show an

enthusiasm for the lessons I am teaching,.”

The coaching cycle was originally introduced by Marsha Joseph, who was brought in to

work alongside the PE coordinator and NQTs to share her expertise in PE as part of the

money paid to Southfields Academy (primary school partners). It worked very well and has been used ever since by Mr Symms and the

Southmead team.

As well as the coaching cycle, teachers regularly attend the Physical Education CPD courses put

on by the Wandsworth Borough and are encouraged to share good practise with each

other during PE staff meetings.

Lesson ObservationsDuring 2014-15, 100% of PE lessons observed

were judged to be at least good.

Evidence:

• Warm up activities were engaging and built on learning (children were able to explain how they improved from the week before)

• Learning objectives and linked skills shared with the children – they knew what they

were learning about and could communicate this

• Cross-curricular lessons with transferable skills

• Examples of excellent practise shared• As a result, behaviour excellent

• Use of ICT to support / extend learning

Next year, we aim to have 50% of lessons judge to be

at least outstanding

At the end of this portfolio is a list of our priorities for

next year!

Competitive Opportunities and School Teams

“I felt honoured and happy to be asked to play for the

school Netball team. I was so proud to represent my

school.” Arijana – Year 6 pupil

We aim to attend as many competitions as possible over the school year and we

are building on our successes year by year! Last year, the girls football team

remained unbeaten for 2 years, the boys had a good season too, as well as enjoying netball, tag rugby, cricket and

tennis competitions. We use these events to build up the children’s team work and sportsmanship skills – but

mainly to have fun!

We regularly want to hear from the children – and from a

recent questionnaire they want a basketball and water

polo team – watch this space!” Mr Symms

“Becoming a Playground Leader was a proud moment for me – I can’t wait to get started.” Lelya – Year 5 pupil

We aim to offer a variety of playground leader led sports and

games during lunchtimes. We change the options every half term and the feedback from children shows that they are really enjoying the options available. We recently added table tennis in the hall too - pop in and

have a game!

“Lunchtimes are great. I can play table tennis, dressing up games or practise my throwing with the foam javelins.” Kiera – Year 4 pupil

After School Clubs

“There are many options for after school clubs at Southmead and the children really seem to enjoy them”

Parent

“Going to Young Ballers after school club is the best part of my day”

Adil – Year 2 pupil

After school clubs provide children with the opportunity to strengthen their physical skills, receive plenty of exercise and have fun. We offer a range of

clubs, from football, netball, tag rugby, table tennis, dance club

and cooking club (related to healthy eating). Last year, 1 in 3 of our children

attended an after school club related to physical activity, with 55% of Year 6 pupils attending

one. The rest of the break down was:

Year 1 – 24%, Year 2 – 23%, Year 3 – 17%, Year 4 – 32%, Year 5 –

35%. This year, we aim to have 1 in 2 of our children attending an

after school club.

Sportsmanship Award

Every Friday in Celebration Assembly, a pupil is presented with the Sportsmanship Award for

demonstrating one of the Olympic and Paralympic Values; Friendship, Respect,

Excellence, Determination, Inspiration, Courage or Equality in either a lesson, after school sports

club or lunchtime.

Any teacher can nominate a pupil and we have had some proud moments listening to the stories

where children have won this award.

As well as this, we encourage the Playground Leaders to be involved in this process and

nominate anyone who impresses them during lunchtime activities.

Healthy Eating

DATA – pe folder

Parent

“Going to Young Ballers after school club is the best part of my day”

Adil – Year 2 pupil

In Autumn 2014, we launched our ‘Eat well, move more’ campaign

because our Healthy Eating Questionnaire showed that 35 / 100 children ate lots of sugary and high

fat foods after school. We started off by having a whole school assembly and demonstrated ways in which children could be more active at lunchtimes and also gave them

information about what makes a balanced diet.

In Summer 2014, we were proud to be awarded the Healthy Schools London (HSL) Silver Award and we were the first Primary School in Wandsworth!Questionnaire results show that 92%

of children demonstrated a good understanding of how exercise

increases heart rate and contributes to a healthy lifestyle. 90% have an

improved understanding of what constitutes a healthy packed lunch.

Parental Involvement

We share as much of the children’s success in sport and PE as possible

with their parents. They are invited to weekly class assemblies (which usually share a dance that they have been learning about in

PE), the weekly sports games against other schools and sports

festivals held throughout the year.

One child each week is awarded the Sportsmanship Award which can be

nominated by their teacher, or even a playground leader. They receive an award an also an official Paralympic relay baton from the London 2012

Olympic Games – with the hope that they ‘pass on’ their sportsmanship to

someone else by being a good role model.

How we are spending the Sports Premium?

We are using our Sport Premium to improve the quality of PE and Sport provision in the following ways:

• Teacher CPD - release time – AS working closely with NQTs using the Coaching Cycle

• Swimming lessons – targeting KS2• Other resources – PE equipment, kit

• Southfields Academy – lasting impact followed up by AS• Darren Lee – Dance man

• Attending regular sports tournaments,• Professional Development courses, Nick Miller - Wandsworth School Games

• Leagues and competitions organised by the Putney Primary Sports Association

Giving teachers the opportunity to observe and work alongside the coaching

model to improve their understanding and

knowledge of how to teach precise, enjoyable and

challenging lessons is high priority!

• Providing cover and time for swimming lessons at Southfields Academy to promote

reaching National Curriculum targets for swimming.

• Providing training for midday supervisors to introduce playground games at breaks and

lunchtimes.

Sports Premium continued…

We are using our Sport Premium to improve the quality of PE and Sport provision in the

following ways:• Purchasing new equipment for the school

so that the children can develop their skills further in PE

• Purchasing more sports equipment for use during playtimes such as basketball hoops, goal posts, climbing walls and wall targets. Every second counts, even at lunchtimes

Swimming

“Most children did not know any strokes when they began the course and those that

did had very poor technique. Through gradually increasing confidence through the

use of floats, the children became much more proficient in swimming a length. Their stamina also improved greatly – those who

had been unable to swim only a few strokes, were able to swim a full length at

the end of the course.”

“The children all made excellent progress over the course of their

swimming lessons. At the beginning of the course, very few children could

confidently swim over ten meters. Many had only been swimming a few times in their lives and lacked confidence. Many

children were very nervous to begin with about entering the pool. By the end,

they were all eagerly looking forward to each lesson and could confidently swim

at least a length.”

We provide the class teachers with an observation checklist when they

go swimming so that they can assess the children throughout the lesson. Next year, we are looking

into providing CPD opportunities in the form of swimming courses for our teachers so that they can help with even more differentiation and challenge during swimming lessons,

where needed.

Below is an example of the summative assessment from a

teacher’s swimming observations.

Year 4 and 5 are targeted with swimming lessons. We keep track of

which children need extra time in the water to swim the 25 metres required

by the end of Key Stage 2 and make sure we provide them with extra

opportunities regardless of which year group they are in.

Watch this space for ASA Kelloggs Rainbow Swimming Awards next year!

PE Action PlanAction Plan: September 2014 – August 2015

*Indicates new for 2014/15 and beyond

Our school will be receiving £9187 in two instalments.

This is an example of part of our Action Plan for September 2014 – August 2015. High on the priority

list was to provide all teachers with continued support with delivering

high quality PE lessons.

The Action Plan is evaluated through the year and a new one

will be ready for September 2015 – August 2016. It is shared with

the staff and governors alike.

We think it’s extremely important to provide all teachers with

ongoing CPD opportunities and training through the coaching

cycle. We also have regular PE staff meetings to address any issues and

share good practice.

PE Action Plan continued…In the summer term 2014, we had a revamp of the lunchtime clubs

and activities available for children. We now have structured sports, skill based games, role play and

table tennis to name a few. All run by our fantastic playground

leaders!

Another priority for the Autumn term 2015 is to run a Change 4 Life club for some

targeted children

Priorities moving forward

• Embed assessment procedures for PE across the school, including the use of PE folders for every child.• Lead a Change 4 Life morning club for targeted

children.• Organise more competitive sport to include intra and

inter school sport.• Attend more competitions run by Wandsworth• Apply for the School Games kite mark in recognition

of the high quality provision offered at Southmead Primary School.

• Strengthen links with Southfields and where possible, other local Primary Schools in relation to

opportunities for Sport.

Below is a summary of the priorities moving forward for next year – September

2015

• Embed whole school house teams for inter house competitions

• Maintaining high standards in Numeracy and Guided Reading with my Year 2 class.

• Continuing to support NQTs so that standards in core subjects and PE remain high.

• Continue to monitor and evaluate planning for PE across the school in relation to the new

curriculum.• Organise staff CPD training for Gymnastics.

• Organise CPD courses in swimming for targeted staff and improve assessment procedures across

the school for swimming.
