Introduction Welcome to the Delegate Guide for the Level 5 Certificate in Primary School
Physical Education Specialism and the Level 6 Award in Primary School Physical
Education Subject Leadership.
The Level 5 Certificate in Primary School Physical Education Specialism is a
recognised qualification that aims to upskill delegates to be able to improve the
overall delivery of the PE curriculum within a primary school. On successful completion
of this qualification, you will be able to assist in raising the standards within primary
school PE teaching and learning.
The Level 6 Award in Primary School Physical Education Subject Leadership is a
recognised qualification that aims to upskill primary generalists, to be able to lead the
overall delivery of the primary school PE curriculum. On successful completion of this
qualification, you will be able to take subject leadership within primary school physical
education teaching and deliver sustainable high quality primary school PE.
The Level 5 Certificate in Primary School Physical Education Specialism is a pre-requisite
for the Level 6 Award in Primary School Physical Education Subject Leadership.
There is a certain amount of written work and discussions associated with the
assessment for this course, but the course should also be delivered in as practical
a way as possible.

Course content The course is broken down into six units. Units 1 to 5 make up the Level 5 Certificate in
Primary School Physical Education Specialism. Unit 6 is for the Level 6 Award in Primary
School Physical Education Subject Leadership.
In order that your Tutor/Assessor(s) understands exactly what you need to learn and
so that you know what you will be learning during the course, each unit is broken down
into Learning Outcomes. These Learning Outcomes are simply statements that explain
what it is you will have to do in order to pass each unit.
Each of the Learning Outcomes is broken down again into Assessment Criteria. These
Assessment Criteria help to clarify the Learning Outcome and describe exactly what you
will have to show you can do or understand in order to meet the Learning Outcome and
therefore the requirements for that unit.
Visit the Sports Leaders UK website to see details of the specification, Learning
Outcomes and Assessment Criteria for each Unit.
How the course works
The course is delivered typically over eight days for both Levels 5 and 6. There will be a
period of weeks in between each session to allow you to complete some tasks in a given
primary school. There will generally be 12 to 18 months between course start date and
the course end date.
Your Tutor/Assessor(s) will guide you through the learning process. Your Tutor/
Assessor(s) will outline what Delegate Assessment Tasks you are required to complete
as part of your independent learning and will assess whether you have met the
Assessment Criteria as and when tasks have been completed.
Once you have shown that you can meet each of the Assessment Criteria, your Tutor/
Assessor(s) can confirm that you have met the requirements for that unit.
How to use this Delegate Guide
This Delegate Guide gives you a comprehensive outline of the tasks that delegates are
required to complete and be assessed for to meet the Assessment Criteria of both the
Level 5 Certificate in Primary School Physical Education Specialism and the Level 6
Award in Primary School Physical Education Subject Leadership.
Many of the Delegate Assessment Tasks in this Delegate Guide are directly linked to
the tasks that a Professional Learning Centre will deliver as part of the tutor contact
sessions. It may be possible for delegates to be assessed during the delivery of the
course. Assessment records will need to be kept by the Tutor/Assessor(s) and the
delegate is required to keep evidence of the tasks completed to fulfil the requirements
of the tasks in the Delegate Guide.
The Delegate Assessment Tasks do not always need to be completed in isolation. Your
Tutor/Assessor(s) may ask you to produce a piece of work that includes a number of
tasks, maybe in a presentation or a report that covers a number of tasks.

Assessment
There is no formal examination at the end of either the Level 5 Certificate in Primary School
Physical Education Specialism or the Level 6 Award in Primary School Physical Education
Subject Leadership. Instead, your Tutor/Assessor(s) may use a variety of assessment
methods to make a decision about your PE specialism and/or subject leadership including
observation, written work and listening to what you say and do. Your Tutor/Assessor(s) may
expect to see any work you have completed during the course that may contribute to your
assessment process. These could include reports, provision audits, curriculum maps and
lesson plans. Your Tutor/Assessor(s) may use a question and answer style method as part of
your assessment, relating to specific Learning Outcomes and they may also request some
independent feedback from another Tutor/Assessor who has observed you leading.
In order to see if you are meeting the Assessment Criteria for each unit your Tutor/
Assessor(s) can use any number of assessment methods. However, the assessment
method(s) that they choose must be relevant to the Assessment Criteria they are
assessing and meet any specific needs that you might have.
Successfully completing the course
If, by the end of the PE specialism aspects of the course, you have shown that you can
meet all of the Assessment Criteria for each unit of the Level 5 Certificate in Primary
School Physical Education Specialism qualification you will have successfully passed
the course and will be awarded the Level 5 qualification.
If you decide to progress onto and complete the PE subject leadership aspect of the
course and have shown that you can meet all of the Assessment Criteria for the Level 6
Award in Primary School Physical Education Subject Leadership you will be awarded
the Level 6 qualification.
If you have not met these requirements by the end of the course, your Tutor/Assessor(s)
may be able to give you further opportunities to continue your learning and you may
successfully pass the course at some stage in the future. These opportunities will only
be made available for up to three years after you first started the course.
Appeals procedure
If you have any queries regarding an assessment decision speak to your Tutor/
Assessor(s) about it. However, if this does not resolve the issue then contact Sports
Leaders UK who will investigate further. If the concern is still not resolved the case
will be referred to the Sports Leaders UK senior management team, or further to
that, an independent body. For a copy of the appeal procedures please email

Delegate Assessment Task 18Plan, deliver and review a unit of work
The understanding gained from discussions on assessment for learning now needs to
be applied by teachers in practice. Teachers should plan, deliver and review a unit of
work incorporating the principles of assessment for learning. This can be completed
holistically with teaching a series of ‘good or better’ PE lessons as part of Task 40.
As an indicator, if assessment for learning strategies are used effectively, the progress
that pupils would usually be expected to make by the end of a unit should be increased
by up to a third. In other words, progress that would usually be observed after 6 weeks
will be observed after 4 weeks.
Delegates are required to evidence the following for this task:
•Analyse the assessment requirements of a group of children in a given scenario.
• Identify assessment that is fit for purpose.
•Use a range of identified assessment strategies to secure pupils’ progress.
• Review the use of previously identified assessment strategies.
• Revise own use of assessment strategies based on prior learning.
Delegate Assessment Task 19Differences between ‘good’ and ‘outstanding’ teaching
Using the Ofsted Framework generic grade descriptors and the teaching section
of the supplementary PE subject guidance, critically examine the differences
between ‘good’ and ‘outstanding’ teaching.
Delegate Assessment Task 20Characteristics of ‘good or better’ teaching and learning
Critically examine the meaning of ‘good or better’ teaching and learning in PE
and its impact on the pupil. Identify and describe the key characteristics and desired
outcomes from ‘good or better’ teaching and learning.
Delegate Assessment Task 21Teaching and learning strategies
Develop a ‘map’ of the teaching and learning strategies that teachers should
have or use, in order to achieve the key outcomes ‘good or better’ teaching for
the pupils and detail the “remarkable difference” these teaching and learning
strategies should make.
Explain how ‘good or better’ teaching will result in ‘good or better’ learning
in primary school physical education.

(2012 edition) as a guide. Create and attach a series of lesson plans that clearly shows
how you will consider and plan for:
•Appropriate challenge.
•Acceptable risk.
• The context in which you are working (facility/equipment/procedures and routines/
transport).
• The people you are working with (staff/pupils).
• The organisation (teaching/group management/planning for progression/
emergency action).
Delegate Assessment Task 24Developing a unit of work
Using the expected outcomes from the National Curriculum, develop plans for a unit
of work on developing hand-eye co-ordination through net/wall and striking/fielding
games. These plans are required to show how unit of work plans:
•Develop specific learning outcomes related to the activity.
•Meet curriculum requirements.
•Are progressive and build on children’s prior knowledge and achievement.
• Take into account individual learning needs.
• Take into account ‘safe practice’.

•Offer advice.
• Support teaching and learning in PE.
•Upskill practice in PE.
How might these people/organisations add value to and/or impact on the effectiveness
of the teaching and learning process?
Delegate Assessment Task 27Seek support for the teaching and learning process
Delegates are required to seek support from others to add value to the teaching
and learning process.
Write a report detailing the support you have gathered and used. Evaluate the impact
that the support has had on the effectiveness of the teaching and learning process.
This should include:
• Knowledge and understanding.
•Confidence to take ‘risks’.
• Identify and manage risks throughout a PE unit of work.
• Ideas for interesting engaging practice.
• Inclusive practice and challenge.
•Meeting the planned learning versus covering all of the content.
•Progression.
•Ongoing adaptation of teaching and learning as a result of assessment.
•Recognising learner’s needs.
•Questions asked/feedback provided.

Delegate Assessment Task 30Teach, review and revise a ‘good or better’ PE unit of work
Using the curriculum map/programme and unit of work plans that you have created
as a guide, you are now required to teach a series of ‘good or better’ physical education
lessons in your primary school. The delivery must include a range of activities.
In the delivery of the unit of work, you should:
• Identify risk and implement strategies to manage risk.
•Apply the key characteristics of ‘good or better’ teaching.
•Deliver lessons which maximise the opportunities for children to be physically active.
•Create opportunities for pupils to reflect on their own learning and progress.
• Implement teaching and learning strategies which involve and motivate participants.
• Employ teaching and learning strategies which take into account individual
learning needs.
Following the delivery of the unit of work, you are required to:
• Evaluate the unit of work that has been delivered.
•Use the outcomes of the evaluation to inform the future planning of PE units of work.
An Independent Assessor at your school, maybe the Head Teacher, is required to
observe you teach at least one lesson where you have met the criteria above. You are
required to provide evidence of the planning, delivery, evaluation and revision of a unit
of work in support of the Independent Assessor observation. For example, by supplying
lessons plans and evaluations, risk assessments, notes on progression of pupil standards,
a revised unit of work plan.

Delegate Assessment Task 31The role and responsibilities of a primary school physical education subject leader
Explain the roles and responsibilities that a PE subject leader needs to undertake in a
primary school.
Why is there the need to support good practice through implementation of school
policy?
Delegate Assessment Task 32Pupils progress and attainment standards
Identify and explain factors that are likely to cause low pupil progress and attainment
standards.
Delegate Assessment Task 33Children’s progress and the curriculum
Consider your own school. Are all children making good progress? If not, why not? Write
down which groups of children are well served by the curriculum offer and which groups
are poorly served by the physical education provision? Identify the reasons why this
might be the case.
Delegate Assessment Task 34Physical education provision audit
Canvas the views of stakeholders in physical education at your own school and build
an evidence base to support management decisions. Stakeholders could be teachers,
pupils, the Head Teacher, senior management team, the governing body and/or third
party providers.
Devise a way of gathering evidence and completing an audit. Use this evidence to make
sustainable improvements in PE. This should include:
• Conducting an audit to evaluate the quality of physical education provision.
• Analysis of the results of the audit and identify areas in need of development.
• Highlight how potential limitations of the primary school environment
may be addressed.
• Evidence of the contribution physical education makes to pupils’
personal development.
• Analyse the effect of communicating the positive impact of physical education
to all stakeholders.
Teachers should obtain permission from the senior management team to conduct
the information gathering exercise and use this opportunity to discuss the course
and expected outcomes. This is an important opportunity to establish senior
management team buy in to the physical education improvement strategies.
At this point the Head Teacher will have to sign off the physical
education improvement strategy for the delegate as part of
the course assessment tasks.

Delegate Assessment Task 39Strategies to improve cross school physical education teaching
Address the following questions:
1 Explain the need to manage change in primary school physical education.
2 Explain the key principles of change management which can be utilised to improve
physical education teaching across the school.
3 Do you need a different strategy at Key Stage 1 to Key Stage 2 to improve teaching?
Justify your reasons with solutions.
4 Who can help you achieve your goal of all teachers being able to teach physical
education with confidence and precision, to ensure physical education is consistently
‘good’ and ‘outstanding’?
Now, explain the strategy that you will employ to improve physical education teaching
across the school. Use the work you have completed previously on judging standards,
evaluating teaching and learning and the leading sustainable improvement audit sheets
to help focus your answers.
Delegate Assessment Task 40Advocacy skills
Using one of the scenarios below, create a two year action plan that creates a more
dynamic and effective PE provision. Decide what you would do first and how you would
“market” and “communicate” your plans.
Scenarios:
1 The school has good physical education facilities including a playground which is well
marked, an onsite indoor hall and extensive playing fields. Three teachers have good
physical education experience and enjoy teaching physical education. However, their
planning is sometimes weak and is never given a great deal of thought. One of these
teachers doesn’t teach outside.
2 The other four teachers are in their first two years of teaching. They have come to
teaching following a first degree and a postgraduate certificate in general education
with limited physical education training. Three of these teachers work tirelessly to
get things right but lack experience. The other tries to avoid teaching PE because
she doesn’t like it and had a poor experience as a pupil. She is a good Key Stage
2 colleague but is keen to have her physical education lessons delivered by a
visiting coach.
3 The school is in a route to improvement category and behaviour across the school
is an issue. Whilst the school run some extracurricular sport there is limited success.
The senior management team and governing body are fixated with literacy and
numeracy performance. One governor has a clear educational philosophy grounded
on years of experience as a psychologist. He believes that educational success is
routed in building a successful culture in school through sport, music and art where
every child can be a performer and develop their self-confidence and character. He
has been highly critical of the physical education teaching at a recent governing
body meeting.
4 At the last Ofsted inspection, unusually, four physical education lessons
were observed, (possibly because of the focus on behaviour). Only one
lesson was graded as good.
5 Standards of physical skills and mobility at Key Stage 1 are below
national expectations both on entry and at the end of Key Stage 1.

and the number of children reaching or exceeding the Key Stage expectation and
other relevant measures.
6 Draw conclusions from the impact of the targeted strategy. Suggest ways
of remodelling the strategy to ensure sustained improvements.
7 Explain how these conclusions will be used in future planning of targeted strategies
to increase the sustainability of ‘good or better’ teaching and learning.
