Together with her business partner, Nat Richardson, Kat has developed GetSet4PE, a company which aims to support class teachers to deliver better PE.

Jack Sloan and Isla Findlay - Help! I'm the new PE Subject Lead

We meet headteacher Jack Sloan and his new PE Subject Lead Isla Findlay, from Hanover Primary. Jack tells us why he has switched to class teacher delivery of PE at the school, and Isla tells us what she's done so far to understand and start to improve the subject delivery.

Sam Garrood - Using data to enhance enjoyment, inclusion and expectations

Sam is a Y6 class teacher and PE subject lead at Winton Primary School in Islington, London. On this podcast, he talks about using data to track children's enjoyment and inclusion in PE and school sport at Winton. It is interesting in particular to listen to the way Sam describes his relationship with sports coaches at the school. We often frame these relationships as coach mentoring the teacher, but Sam explores why actually this might be more appropriately framed the other way round - as subject lead mentoring the coach. All the documents Sam talks about are available to view at the Winton Primary School website.
