Physical Literacy Overview

Physical Activity and Movement Follow Up
 
Thank you for your time and energy during my session exploring our relationship with physical activity and movement. You can view the slides above and a leaflet which gives an overview of the Physical Literacy Consensus Statement. You can also read more about physical literacy here.
 
The Inclusive Education Hub provides lots of support for you as teachers or school staff to review and improve your inclusive physical education and school sport delivery. It includes the Inclusive PE Self-Assessment I recommended that you sit down and complete with your PE Lead. You answer a set of short and simple questions that, once submitted, provides you with guidance and resources to support inclusive PE and physical activity at your school. We can come in and support you with this if it’s helpful.
 
There are several School Games events that are designed with inclusion in mind available across the county.
 
We have two SwimPix packs available for schools to trial (and keep) for free. In return we’d like to create a case study to share with other schools across Devon. If you’d like to review the SwimPix resources for us, please get in touch.
 
If you have an example of good practice in your school which you’re happy to share across the network, please do get in touch.
 
If you would like to explore this topic further and discuss future training and support for your school, please don’t hesitate to get in touch:
