“Physical Education, school sport and physical activity play such important roles in the development of young people's personal development, health and wellbeing so it is important that we are able to provide data that accurately measures the impact this has on overall achievement. As we move towards a revised curriculum, we must ensure that PE is given the status and time it rightly deserves and by completing this scorecard teachers will not only be able to measure their school against others but will also be able to identify the areas which need development.
The Association for Physical Education is proud to support this evaluation tool and will work with our partners to develop our subject at all levels.”

“Each question was easy to understand. With time being very short during the day, this tool is amazing. Short, sweet and simple. I filled it in quicker than a coffee break. It triggered me to question, look into and update various aspects of my own practice.
The instant feedback is class. The report is so easy to follow. It enables you to see where you’re doing well, along with identifying areas for improvement to develop your schools PESSPA.
This tool has not only helped me but our whole school community. I now embed all aspects of PESSPA a lot more across the school day. The other tools and reports around are more of an overview and take time to complete, whereas this tool and its report is specific to you and your school’s ever-changing landscape.”
