Practical Assessment in PE – Complete Department Assessment System and CPD

Assessment in PE often feels awkward, time-consuming, and disconnected from real learning. Teachers are frequently left trying to assess effort, behaviour or general engagement rather than clearly understanding how students are improving as movers, performers, or decision-makers.

Built around a clear Observe → Decide → Improve framework, the resources help teachers focus on one learning intention, identify simple success criteria, respond to what they see in real time, and record progress efficiently without reducing activity levels.

What’s Included -

Full 6-lesson CPD assessment framework perfect for teacher training consortiums, new departments, departments with a high staff turnover or an individual teacher looking to develop their understanding of PE assessement.
