We purchased Complete PE because it was a comprehensive package that staff were very positive about after a trial. Complete PE gives support to less confident staff whilst allowing excellent progression and development of skills for all pupils.

The key aim for implementing Complete PE was to find a resource that staff were enthusiastic about delivering, a resource that gave staff the confidence to deliver the full spectrum of PE and to instil a love of physical activity in all our children. We have endeavoured to make a difference when developing staff knowledge and understanding of PE and develop CPD opportunities. We completed an audit of staff confidence and found that some staff lacked confidence in the areas of gymnastics and dance.

We brought specialist teachers into school to support staff, model lessons and provide bespoke planning. Using Complete PE has bolstered staff confidence, many staff use the videos to support their teaching and help pupil knowledge and understanding. Our pupils love PE and it is brilliant to see the progress they are making using Complete PE. Skills are introduced, practiced and re-visited regularly to ensure proficiency.

Ofsted visited us in November 2022. A PE deep dive took place, and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. PE was found to be a strong subject and Complete PE was integral to this outcome. We shared lesson plan, progression documentation and assessments and all were highly praised.

*The Inspector did not make any specific comments linked to our intent even though this was shared.

Complete PE up-skills our staff through its own CPD units and the use of comprehensive planning and video clips. We rolled Complete PE out across the whole school from the beginning of the academic year it was purchased. We had spent time trialling various schemes the previous academic year.

Complete PE has allowed us to map our PE curriculum in a clear and logical way. The map allows for solid progression in key areas. We did make some minor changes after the first year based on experience of the units and pupil voice. When new units are created, we look at those and if we add them we make adjustments to our map accordingly. Complete PE ensures that what we teach is appropriate to the year group and to individual pupils, we can adapt the planning we access and adjust lessons where necessary. The units we cover often feed into competition opportunities and after-school clubs.

Complete PE supports our teaching with high quality resources, planning and adapted lessons. Pupils have the opportunity to embed skills, revisiting them regularly and applying them in game situations. All staff are engaged with Complete PE. We work closely with Derby County Community Trust, and they also use Complete PE so that joint approach makes any shared teaching easy. Supply teachers coming into the school can be given access to the planning and quickly be able to see what the children have already covered and what comes next.

Assessment of PE using Complete PE is very simple and easy to do. We assess after every unit and this allows us to give a fair report at the end of the year that takes into account all of the areas of PE each child has covered.

Overall, Complete PE has had a very positive impact on PE delivery at Belmont Primary School. Staff confidence has improved, there is more consistency in what is delivered and progression is clear. As a subject leader Complete PE has made my role so much easier: I can assess easily and can access the assessments of others too. I can also see quickly how different genders, Free School Meals, Pupil Premium pupils perform and put interventions in place where necessary.

As a subject leader. I know what the curriculum map looks like across the whole school and can adjust it easily. I see good progression in the children I teach and positive outcomes across the whole school.

Yes, with regular updates, new units and resources I feel that Complete PE are always working to develop and refine their resource. I particularly like that Complete PE aim to work alongside NGBs.

Trial the scheme to ensure it works for your school, pupils and staff. Talk to other schools that use Complete PE to get a flavour of how it works for them. Consider what scheme your SSP or Community Trust use, if they are involved with your school.

Our PE deep dive went very well and PE was considered to be very strong. Complete PE documentation was used as part of the deep dive and made my job as PE lead so much easier. I could quickly share all aspects of the scheme and share and discuss the curriculum map, show progress ladders etc.

We purchased Complete PE for several reasons. One of the biggest reasons was that the old curriculum we were teaching from had become dated and written by staff who were no longer at the school. This meant that staff didn’t understand at times what they were being asked to teach or lacked confidence in what was being asked of them. With Complete PE’s planning and lessons, all staff have clear objectives and outcomes for each lesson.

To measure staff confidence, a questionnaire has been sent out every year which asks staff a series of questions that measure confidence. This is usually of the whole curriculum and then individual topics. They are also asked to provide any further feedback. One of the most common bits of feedback is that we have received over the years is that staff lack confidence with dance and gymnastics. This might be because they don’t feel they have the skills themselves to demonstrate a skill or that the topic has been planned at a time when the wider curriculum was different and now the topic doesn’t make sense or fit. With the planning, key questions and videos that Complete PE provide, staff feel they have much more of an understanding of what they need to teach as well as the skills and resources to deliver it. Plus, with the suggested music for each dance topic, it makes the whole topic so much easier to plan for and deliver.

Complete PE was shown during a PE coordinators meeting. What caught our eye straight away was the videos that it offered. One of the biggest barriers to high quality teaching with PE is modelling good practice. By having the videos, regardless of staff confidence or class ability, there is always an example of how a task should be done. Also, the clear six sessions that each topic follows makes planning and fitting it into the time – table manageable which has helped keep teaching PE manageable in curriculum. The outcomes in terms of staff, was to increase confidence of the staff by giving them resources they could easily follow, the ability to differentiate when needed and have high quality examples for modelling.

In terms of the children, we have seen a massive increase in children’s enjoyment and participation in lessons. With a well-rounded curriculum that offers such a wide range of skills, children get a real enjoyment out of every topic. What has been a real revelation is some of the wellbeing sessions and fitness sessions. These sorts of topics level the playing field for the children. Those who are strong at the ‘traditional’ sports suddenly find they must really work and engage in something new that they aren’t used to.

Staff across the school feel a lot more confident since we have brought in Complete PE. The biggest impact has been the videos that are on offer for each topic and session. This has allowed staff to demonstrate skills they may not be able to or understand what the outcome of a session should be.

Every teacher in school has bought into the programme. This has meant we have consistency amongst staff and as a lot of the PE is taught by HLTA’s, they are getting to see the different topics through the different year groups. This is really helping them see the journey the children are on.

The ability to map out the curriculum and have the overview so quickly to hand has also helped build that journey and lets staff know how the school sees children progressing. It has made meeting the national curriculum requirements easy as well. Furthermore, it’s also allowed us to add more well-being based session and ‘non traditional’ sports into the curriculum. This has really helped children find something they can enjoy but also give them skills to help them in the wider school community. Especially around calming techniques and resilience.

As we are still only a year into the programme, it’s hard to see the long-term progress of the children. However, the short-term outcomes have been huge. On a recent survey the overwhelming majority of children have said they enjoy PE. Lessons are fun and every survey has said that the teacher enjoys PE – which is huge!

The impact has been massive on PE provision. As the recent surveys have shown, the feedback from the children is massively positive. The feedback and comments from staff has been massively positive and the general running of PE has been so much easier. As a subject leader, it has taken a lot of pressure and work off me. With equipment lists being provided, I know what the school needs to make sessions run. I know what is being taught and when. I know the progression, I can check the outcomes and can talk to both children and staff about their sessions and use key questions to gauge outcomes.

As mentioned, the surveys have shown overwhelming support and enjoyment from the children. Very few children say they are bored during a lesson and if they are it’s usually from children who are competent at sports feeling they are ready for more challenge. There is a really good mix of topics that children enjoy as well, which shows that the curriculum is broad and providing something for everyone.

It has also helped collect feedback at where we can improve and what more we can offer. Whether we offer that through curriculum time or extra curricula time.

The staff surveyed who teach PE using Complete PE, 100% of them fed back that they now felt more confident teaching PE after a year of using the resource.

Derby County Community Trust (DCCT) delivers Physical Education across twenty-five partner schools in Derby, with a team of thirteen coaches. We wanted a consistent, high quality and holistic model to utilise across our partner schools. Complete PE’s resource focuses on developing the whole child through physical, cognitive and knowledge-based lesson objectives.

We also, work with a wider school’s network of sixty-five primary schools, whom we support with curriculum design. We have used Complete PE as a tool to support PE leaders with curriculum creation. Lots of these schools have then gone on to use the resource themselves. We like the ethos behind Complete PE and the fact that they are all about supporting schools instead of just selling a product. They support with our network meetings and conferences to help up-skill teachers whether they use the resource or not.

When comparing Complete PE to other schemes of work, DCCT chose Complete PE due to the holistic nature of the resource. Alongside this, the curriculum leaders’ tools such as the curriculum mapping builder, assessment tools and progression ladders are really useful to support schools to map out and implement a high-quality Physical Education curriculum.

Complete PE has enabled our team to deliver a consistent approach alongside the teachers in school may also be using Complete PE. It also means that coaches across our team save time when planning, reducing their stress and workload. This therefore allowing them to focus on delivery.

Complete PE have delivered CPD at our Network meeting as well as at our Schools conference. The training has included a “What is High Quality PE?” workshop which was popular and well received by our schools.

Our delivery staff have also received support with how to use the resource and regarding delivery of lessons to ensure holistic learning process.

Since using Complete PE, we have seen the impact of the resources spill out into our partner schools. As part of our Premier League Primary Staff Programme, our qualified PE delivery staff are expected to support primary school teachers with delivering PE to help up-skill them and increase their confidences.

We have been able to use the learning card resources to help with lesson planning which has further supported our teachers understanding of what they are looking to achieve in their outcomes for their pupils in Physical Education lessons.

Complete PE provides high quality, teacher informed resources, training and tools to support PE subject leaders and generalists alike in driving vision, purpose and practice in PE from a physical literacy, holistic perspective.

This vital work aligns with our vision- to ensure the subject’s full worth is understood, and as a result the subject is embedded and valued across schools and their communities, ensuring all young people develop physically and personally, helping them to be healthier, happier, more resilient young people prepared for life in the 21st century.

It equips educators with the knowledge, understanding and skills to plan and deliver a PE curriculum that meets the needs of all learners. Complete PE meets teachers where they are in their relationship with PE, building confidence and competence at their pace and supporting their development as teachers and leaders of PE.

With YST’s TOP PE and My PB teaching and learning materials embedded within the sequences of learning, Complete PE makes explicit the links between the physical, social, emotional and cognitive domains of learning, supporting teachers to develop the whole child.

Primary schools have seen 10 years of investment into PESSPA through the PE and school sport premium, with the key focus being on sustainable legacy.

Complete PE allows schools to pay a one off payment that provides access to planning, resources and online CPD that will continue to benefit teachers at the school now and into the future.

The curriculum mapping, learner journeys and knowledge builders support subject leaders to be clear on the purpose and progression of their curriculum, so would be a great starting point for any school on trial.

The sequences of learning provide high quality examples of PE planning, accompanied with videos to show what success looks like, to help all teachers build their confidence to plan, teach and assess PE.

It allows for the bringing together of national expertise and perspective politically and educationally, alongside on the ground realities from teachers to provide informative and thought leading strategic and delivery insight.

Complete PE is what it says on the tin, we wanted a curriculum that was easily accessible and reduced workload for staff. PE is a subject that always brings added pressure for staff as it relates to subject knowledge and teacher confidence.

We had a plan previously, but it had become outdated and cumbersome for staff, moving to Complete PE took away the shackles. I knew it would be an easy transition as I had used it previously, the planning is user friendly and easily digestible.

Our main key indicator was to ensure that teachers felt confident in delivering the PE curriculum and that meant resourcing knowing how to progress etc and Complete PE allows for that. Although we still have some teachers who are apprehensive about it, their confidence in delivering PE has significantly improved in the last six months. Teachers do feel more confident, and there is 100% improvement in the attitude to teaching PE within the staff at school.

Pupils always love PE, some are more confident than others, but everyone takes part and gets involved. What I really like about Complete PE is that video exemplars which teachers regularly show their pupils so that they can see successful models and takes the pressure away from the teachers to always model if they lack the confidence or the ability to do it themselves.

We decided to move straight to Complete PE in September 2023, so in the summer the staff were given access to the platform and we mapped out their curriculum. This allowed any concerns to be addressed early and get the ball rolling for the new academic year.

The provision has increased massively, we can see staff confidence at a higher level than before. It has helped teachers top up their knowledge and has also enhance their ability to teach higher quality PE lessons.

Since we have been using Complete PE, we can see that the children are enjoying the lessons more as they are much more succinct and practical. One of the instant impacts we have seen at school is the enthusiasm of the teachers. The planning and the resources has enabled them to teach something they are less confident in doing.

Pupils really enjoy the activities and the lessons as there are lots of practical and theory to support their learning the detailed planning helps, Teachers can pick and choose how to deliver the lesson, but all of the outcomes are the same.

As a school we can already see the physical literacy and the involvement of the children in activities is increasing.

Over the last two years, Mansfield Town Community Trust (MTCT) expanded their physical education support. Historically, the trust would only deliver football activities and very rarely, invasion games.

As an organisation we were looking to expand our PE and school sports offer to our local primary schools. We decided to partner with Complete PE based upon some of our employees’ previous experiences using their [Complete PE] resources, along with positive feedback from training courses that staff had attended.

During our expansion into wider curriculum delivery, we also expanded our delivery team. Some of these members had experience of using Complete PE in previous roles and spoke about the detail of the resources and the support it gave them when planning their lessons.

For our current staff with little experience outside of football delivery, the resources were pivotal in providing an insight into how PE lessons across different topics looked and how they are structured.

Upskilling a group of 12 delivery staff is never simple, especially when they are so used to delivering just one topic and area for a long period of time. For some, the transition was seamless, with the platform giving our staff a range of tools and delivery information to go out and deliver high quality PE. For other members of staff that couldn’t adapt straight away, they were given time to familiarise themselves and understand how they could implement this into the delivery.

Following a survey completed in February 2024, we asked staff how confident they felt planning a PE lesson prior to Complete PE recourses and a year after they were implemented. Only 3 out of 12 said they felt confident enough to plan and deliver PE outside of football. 18 months later, 10 out of 12 staff said they felt confident to plan and deliver across the PE curriculum, showing the impact resources had on our staff.

MTCT have had two internal CPD days with Complete PE, with one focusing on PE delivery across all primary school year groups and another on Dance specific delivery. The benefit of the training days allowed our staff to link their prior knowledge into areas of the curriculum they haven’t delivered before. For many it was understanding how a PE lesson looked away from invasion games and delivering appropriate activities to various age groups.

We asked all staff members following the training days if they found them beneficial to their development of their primary PE knowledge with everyone saying it was either slightly beneficial or highly beneficial.

Since using Complete PE, we’ve seen the impact of the resources spill out into our partner schools. As part of our Premier League Primary Staff Programme, our qualified PE delivery staff are expected to support primary school teachers with delivering PE to help upskill them and increase their confidence.

We’ve been able to use the activity cards resources to help with lesson planning which has further supported our teachers understanding of what they are looking to achieve in their outcomes for their pupils in PE lessons.

We had originally written our own scheme of work that linked to Fundamental Movement Skills. However, we decided to implement Complete PE as we felt it would give our school a clearly defined progression of learning.

As PE Subject Leader, making sure that every teacher completed PE assessments has always been a challenge. Complete PE offered a simple and manageable approach to this for teachers.

We also really wanted teachers to feel confident in teaching PE rather than buying in an expert teacher or company. It’s important to us that children have their class teacher teaching them PE as they do in their other subjects. The videos helped with CPD and to develop their confidence. The plans are easy to follow.

Before implementing Complete PE, we delivered an inset for staff. This ensured that they understood how to use the new scheme. Staff are really pleased that they can print off and annotate the plans, allowing them to make the learning bespoke to their class.

We have purchased new equipment too, so that the whole scheme could be implemented effectively.

What impact has Complete PE had/is having in your school?

Since we have implemented Complete PE, we have had positive pupil and parent feedback. One thing that stood out from our recent pupil voice questionnaire, was that more pupils now enjoy their PE lessons.

Parents and pupils now understand why we predominantly focus on Fundamental Movement Skills and not a sport specific curriculum.

Pupils understand the term ‘physical literacy’ and what that looks like.

Staff are gaining more confidence teaching the whole PE curriculum and not just dance.

We can afford the sustainable membership each year and hope that this will continue after the PE and School Sport Premium too!

We first heard about Complete PE on a ‘My Personal Best’ training course delivered by the Youth Sport Trust. The scheme our school was using at the time was outdated and teachers were no longer using it properly.

We trialled Complete PE and really liked that the lessons were progressive and challenged learning, and that the ‘My Personal Best’ resources were embedded into the success criteria. The feedback from staff at the end of the trial was extremely positive, so we made the decision to go ahead and implement Complete PE.

We have been using Complete PE since 2019 and as the Subject Leader I can see a distinct improvement in the children’s abilities, their understanding of terminology and their love of PE and being physically active.

We’re using the ‘Curriculum Mapping Tool’ to plan our PE for the year, so all staff know what they are teaching and when. This tool is really helpfully as the Curriculum Map for the whole year appears on the home screen when teacher’s log in. When a teacher logs into Complete PE, they can just click on the unit they are teaching in the Curriculum Map and it takes them straight to the plan. This is a great feature that saves them valuable time!

We love the Assessment Tool. It’s such an easy tool to use to monitor and track pupil’s progress in PE. Again, it’s another feature that saves teachers valuable time. Assessing a pupil is done in the click of a button and it’s great that a summative statement appears that summarises the learning for that particular unit too.

Teachers display the ‘Knowledge Organisers’ for the unit that is being taught in their class. Children say that this really helps them to understand what they are doing and why.

All staff are fully engaged in using Complete PE and comment on the high quality of the resource and how easy it is to use.

We have really seen the benefits that Complete PE has had since it was implemented in 2019.

We have more confident staff who enjoy teaching all areas of the PE curriculum, where as previously, they may have been reluctant to do so. During observations, it is evident that the children remain engaged in their PE lessons for a lot longer and are also physically active for sustained periods too. Teachers say that the abilities of all pupils have improved significantly since the implementation of Complete PE. Teachers say that the learning cards are a great resource which helps them to differentiate learning in PE.

Twynham wanted to use a high quality PE resource to help up-skill our teachers and to help improve the overall quality of PE across the school.

Having explored other resources, we believed that that Complete PE contained the resources and support that would help us achieved our aims.

We have been using Complete PE since 2020 and all staff are confident in using the resource. The team at Complete PE have provided us with support whenever we have needed it.

Complete PE has helped me immensely in my role as PE Leader. I have used the resource to create our whole school PE curriculum and have been able to share this with staff. Staff can click on a unit of work on the Curriculum Map and this takes them straight to the lesson they are teaching, saving them valuable time.

The units of work are easy to follow and are progressive. Staff tell me that they now feel more confident teaching PE.

Complete PE is having a positive impact on PE at Twynham. Staff regularly tell me that they now feel more confident teaching PE and it is no longer a subject that they avoid teaching.

Children are also showing good progress in PE teachers see improvements in their physical abilities. The resource has been implemented across all Key Stages this means that all children now have structured and progressive PE lessons.

The general feedback from children has been positive too. Children enjoy their PE lessons and look forward to them each week.

Without doubt it’s probably the best investment we’ve made using our PE and School Sport Premium!

Complete PE is high quality and the resource continues to grow.
