Physical Education Subject Specific Pedagogies.
IN addition to our generic pedagogies, which are:
- Flexible groupings 
- Revisiting prior learning from lessons 
- Retrieval of prior knowledge in different contexts 
- I do, we do,you do 
- Chunking lesson 
- Strategies for remembering 
- Sequential graphics 
- Working walls (consistent subject specific design) 
- Explicit teaching of vocabulary. (E.g. Use of visualiser / Demonstrate methods and techniques). 
We also have the following subject specific pedagogies for PE:
- At the start of each unit, our pupils (where possible) observe an expert in any given particular area: for example in athletics, pupils may observe Usain Bolt run 100m before developing sprinting techniques. 
- Pupils will begin each practical lesson by engaging in a warm up activity – pupils will understand the importance of a warm up, what is happening in their bodies and how this leads to healthy active lifestyles. 
- Teaching staff will use and refer to the 3 pillars of progression to inform their pedagogical approach to each lesson. 
- In KS2, where appropriate, children may compete in a given sport in Week 6, whilst developing physical literacy in PE. 
- Formative assessment approaches are applied at all times in each lesson however, the final lesson in the unit, is an ‘end of unit assessment lesson’. 
- Regular representation of the subject within ‘Low Stakes Friday Curriculum Quiz’ to reinforce KS&U and aid cognitive load. Teachers guided by subject lead’s key questioning document. 
- SEND adaptations are made for pupils who need them.
