Today is World Smile Day, but not every smile reflects happiness. Sometimes, a smile can hide anxiety, depression, or struggles that are hard to talk about. Check in with your loved ones, because sometimes behind the brightest smiles, there might be a need for support 💙

Yesterday & today Y3 Secondary PE QTS students have been at @Blackwelladv participating in land & water activities! Our alternative & outdoor activities module is allowing students to explore a wide range of non-traditional & off site activities to support a varied PE curriculum!

Had a brilliant week with the Undergraduate Secondary Education students this week - Wednesday we had the brilliant @neilfutureact with us delivering a full day on Trauma Informed Practice and creating safe spaces in our lessons for children ✨

2.5 million girls now have equal access to football in schools - incredible insights from Louise Gear – Head Of Development, Grassroots Division.

We will see the knock on effect of this for years to come, shameful decisions by school leaders!

[Youth Sport Trust @YouthSportTrust]

Data released today shows the amount of PE hours taught in schools has fallen again, now down a staggering 41,000 a year since 2011/12.⬇️

This is incredibly concerning given less than half of children and young people are achieving the recommended 60 active minutes a day.

As our manifesto for action sets out, we need to make PE a core subject and guarantee every child two hours of PE a week. 🙌

A common question regularly asked, what is the difference between adaptive teaching and differentiation? This infographic helps to explain…

[Alex Quigley @AlexJQuigley]

*** Adaptive Teaching: Scaffolds, Scale Structure & Style ***

“If we are setting simple tasks for struggling pupils, but complex tasks for high prior attainers, how are they ever meant to catch up.”

Excellent day at the Alexander Stadium today, learning how to teach athletics in secondary PE! Great to see so many PE students and PE teachers from the BCU partnership schools attending the event and developing their subject knowledge! 🏆🥇🏃🏽

[Ash Casey @DrAshCasey]

A final push. We are still shy on the hoped for 50 participants. If you could spare some time to complete this survey we’d be very grateful. We start analysis in April and it would fantastic to have as big a sample as possible.

Check out my article on the experience of PE through the lens of Trans and Non Binary pupils!

[Grant - Physical Education @GHuddPE]

This is a great edition, but (being biased), three people within my team have published here, so a huge well done to them. @GT_PhysicalEd, our course lead, & two of our students.
We had 5 PE articles in total, with @TSMalhi_ and @simonchapman50 also contributing great articles 👍

Are you an ex female keeper… 40+
Want to play again?

Think walking football would be too slow or unexciting..
Think again… 🤯
