Southmead PE Portfolio
The Southmead PE Vision
Where 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
AfPE Quality Mark with Distinction – July 2014
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.
PE in the New Curriculum
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.
•
•
•
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
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.
Using Physical Literacy
• Highlight and reference Agility, Balance and
Coordination core skills to children – improve
PE vocabulary
• Develop basic skills through application of
games – opportunities for children to explain
activities using key vocabulary
• Use of peer coaches, key questions, key
vocabulary word bank, talking tins, linked
skills, commentate!

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 Links
At 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
“We challenge the children to self
assess their own performance and
be competitive against
themselves” – Mr Mac
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
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
class
Week 2: The teacher takes a part of the lesson – e.g.:
the warm-up
Week 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.”
The Coaching Cycle - CDP for all Teachers
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.
“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.”
“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,.”
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 Observations
During 2014-15, 100% of PE lessons observed
were judged to be at least good.
Evidence:
Next year, we aim to have
50% of lessons judge to be
at least outstanding
• 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
At the end of this portfolio
is a list of our priorities for
next year!
Competitive Opportunities and School Teams
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
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!
“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

“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
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).
“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
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
In Autumn 2014, we launched our
‘Eat well, move more’ campaign
because
ourfolder
Healthy Eating
DATA – pe
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.
“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
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?
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!
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
Sports Premium continued…
We are using our Sport Premium to improve the quality of PE and
Sport provision in the following ways:
• 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.
• 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
“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.”
“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.”
Watch this space for ASA Kelloggs Rainbow
Swimming Awards next year!
Swimming
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.
PE Action Plan
Action Plan: September 2014 – August 2015
*Indicates new for 2014/15 and beyond
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.
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.
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
