Boost Confidence & Subject Knowledge with

Quality Teaching

We believe primary school teachers are crucial in inspiring children to move more. However, there is little focus on PE in teaching training, so many teachers feel under prepared.
Our Professional Development service has been carefully constructed to support teachers on their PE learning journey.

Areas We Cover

Our team of experienced PE specialists offer a comprehensive range of support, training sessions, and resources that are tailored to the unique needs of London’s diverse school communities.

We currently provide this service to 15 schools across the following London boroughs:

  •  Lambeth
  • Southwark
  • Croydon
  • Lewisham
  • Wandsworth
  • Bromley
  • Westminster

We have the capabilities to expand to other boroughs, so if interested, feel free to reach out.

Why Schools Across London Trust Us

Our Professional Development Service is designed to empower educators with the skills and knowledge to deliver effective PE programs in schools.

From incorporating inclusive practices to promoting physical literacy, our Professional Development service equips teachers with the latest research-based strategies to enhance their teaching of PE.

With a focus on active learning, assessment, and curriculum design, our service helps teachers to inspire their students to lead healthy, active lives and develop a lifelong love for physical activity.

Through collaborative and engaging Professional Development opportunities, we are committed to supporting London’s teachers in providing high-quality PE education for all students.

– Our Goal –

Developing Excellence

Over the course of a half-term or more (subject to the needs of the individual teacher) our Primary PE Specialists will model good practice and provide helpful written and verbal feedback. We’ll also team-teach, observe, assess, plan, and prepare with your staff. This will develop excellent subject knowledge, not to mention confidence and an awareness of outstanding practice.

What’s more, our support comes with access to all Moving Matters schemes of work and a range of supporting documents which will help improve your staff’s ability to teach good or outstanding PE lessons.
