PE Networks
The PE Network meetings are for PE Subject leaders in Primary Schools across the county, designed to share good practice, respond to requests for future professional development and provide free independent advice and updates on national programmes and directives.
Examples of discussions include, effective use of the Sport and PE funding, guidance on the use of coaches in school and further information on the new PE national curriculum.
