Schemes of Work/Trackers
There are numerous schemes of work and trackers available to support you in planning your curriculum, and measuring the impact your curriculum is having on the progress of your young people. Below are a few examples of such products.
Participation and Achievement Tracker (Howard Todd)
This has been revised and updated recently and provides a simple tool for schools to provide evidence of learning gains and participation. Training can be provided.
This is an interactive PE resource designed to support the implementation of a High Quality Physical Education Curriculum.
Designed to help in the implementation of your curriculum and provides knowledge webs, vocabulary lists, progress tasks, an example policy, a report template and questions to prepare for school inspection.
iPEP significantly reduces teacher workload and streamlines PE delivery. iPEP allows you to plan, assess, evidence progression and generate student or whole school progress reports.
IPAL Booking and Management System
iPAL allows parents to register, book and make payments for school activities as well as out of school club activities. iPAL will automatically generate invoices, populate live registers as well as being able to communicate with parents through the system.
