4. Jef Gooding Information gathering on Swimming

5. Information gathering on Swimming - Jef Gooding • External assessment stipulated by policy still not implemented? • Assessment data still inconsistent? Summative (end of term) data not being used formatively and therefore repeated introductory assessments and coverage repeated. • What are current % of children leaving Camden primaries able to swim 25m? • Are schools taking up the recommended provision (number of lessons)? If not, is it because they aren't available at realistic times?

6. Ofsted and PE Guidelines, core tasks, progression The use of core tasks ensures progression. Can you name the four National Curriculum strands for PE?

7. The National Curriculum strands for PE The four National Curriculum strands for PE are: • Developing Skills • Making and Applying Decisions • Developing Physical and Mental Capacity • Evaluating and Improving

8. Ofsted - new Inspection Framework There is a new framework for Inspecting schools from September 2012 The inspection will cover 4 areas 1.   achievement of pupils at the school 2.   quality of teaching in the school 3.   behaviour and safety of pupils at the school    • quality of leadership in, and management of, the school. Ofsted and PE: Key features In judging achievement, what is Outstanding? Taking account of their starting points, the proportion of pupils making and exceeding expected progress is high compared with national figures In judging achievement, what is Good? Taking account of their different starting points, the proportion of pupils making and exceeding expected progress compares favorably with national figures. Where the proportion making expected progress overall is lower than that found nationally, it is improving over a sustained period

9. Ofsted - new Inspection Framework Emphasis on closing gaps Inspectors will place emphasis on the progress of pupils supported through the pupil premium (Looked after children, Free school meals, Children of service families) and those who are disabled or who have special educational needs, and on closing gaps with all pupils nationally. Judging teaching No preferred lesson style. Lesson plans not expected. High expectations across the curriculum Deepening pupil’s understanding Monitoring understanding during lessons and adapting teaching accordingly Pupil’s learning and progress during the lesson

10. Outstanding Achievement Achievement in PE is outstanding. • Pupils attain high standards overall, particularly in swimming and gymnastics. They make swift and sustained progress from their starting points on entry to the school because of high-quality teaching. Pupils acquire new skills and knowledge at a rapid pace. They select and apply their skills well in a broad range of activities. They are all confident and highly competent in observing and evaluating each others’ work and make useful and accurate suggestions on how to improve further. They know how to keep fit and healthy and most chose to be active at breaks and lunch times. • Pupils show high levels of perseverance. They want to learn and improve their performance. They demonstrate excellent levels of physical fitness and can sustain hard work throughout lessons. All pupils spoken to say how much they enjoy PE and learning new activities. This is reflected in high participation rates in lessons and in enrichment opportunities. Pupils recognise that everyone is encouraged to do their best at all times. They have excellent opportunities to provide feedback on provision and take a wide variety of roles within lessons and around the school. The Olympic ambassadors and play leaders are excellent champions of the subject.

11. Outstanding Teaching • Staff are excellent role models and their enthusiasm for the subject is infectious. Relationships between adults and pupils, and between pupils, are excellent. Teachers’ strong subject knowledge is used well to set high expectations, clear objectives and success criteria and to match work to the needs of pupils with different abilities. Higher-attaining pupils are challenged well because good use is made of the ‘realising pupil potential plans’ and additional tasks including leading and coaching their peers. Outstanding questioning extends pupils’ independent thinking and helps them to find creative solutions to tasks. Teachers use a wide range of resources, equipment and strategies to ensure lessons are stimulating, engaging and motivational. Non-performers are given meaningful observation and/or coaching roles.

12. Outstanding Teaching 2 • Staff observe and intervene with specific feedback, and use appropriate demonstrations of good practice to support learning and ensure that all pupils make rapid progress. The use of digital cameras provides immediate visual feedback and helps pupils to understand how to improve their own work further. Excellent use is made of previous learning, including video clips to remind pupils of the strengths to maintain and their targets for improvement. Pupils were particularly enthusiastic about using ‘growing points’ and enjoyed identifying ‘nuggets of good work’. • Assessments of learning in lessons are comprehensive and accurate. New summative assessment procedures have been quickly embedded but all strands of the PE National Curriculum are not assessed in the same depth as pupils’ attainment of physical skills. Assessment information is analysed thoroughly by different groups and a secure view of pupils’ progress over time is emerging swiftly.

13. Camden PE survey – outline of results and implications

14. Key Findings • Number of minutes for PE There has been a small overall fall in the average number of minutes, but the time allocatedto years 9 to 11 has increased and year 8 remains the same. The overall average of 117 minutes is 3 minutes below the 120 minute ideal. • Intra school (Level 1) competition overall has dropped - significantly in KS1. • Inter school (Level 2) competition Increase in boys taking part in competition and slight decrease in girls taking part. Significant drop in KS1 for both boys and girls • 97% of schools had a sports day - 3/4 introduced the new cultural element to the event. • Schools working with local community sports clubs28 schools ran clubs in 2011-2012 in conjunction with 18 local community sports providers • 397 school sports clubs ran in 2011-2012 - on average 11 clubs per school • 70% of schools used targetted interventions to increase participation • A realistic figure for Leadership and Volunteering of 11% of children and young people from years 1 to 11. • Staff availabily and cost of cover are the main barriers preventing schools entering more competitions • Year 1 - 11 trends are generally lower apart from Inter (Level 2) competition which was higher for both boys and girls

The runners should be aged between 7 and 11 on the day of the event. Results are posted online so that teams can see how their times compare with their peers from around the world. Simple to organise The World 1500 Metre Challenge is a very simple event to organise: It can take place in a school playground or playing field It only takes ten minutes or less to run It can be organised by a single teacher with the help of older pupils or mums and dads as time-keepers, lap counters and marshals.
