Thank you Dave - really appreciate the kind comments #PivotFlexAdapt
Just finished the Pivot, Flex, Adapt book that @ShaunD10 has brought together. It provided a unique insight into the variety of PE and school sport that took place in 2020. With an optimistic look to key priorities for 2021 and beyond. Would recomend PE teachers pickup a copy👍

📢Today @Womeninsport_uk launched the findings of #FittoLearn – a pilot exploring the impact of students wearing PE uniform to school on PE days.
We are pleased to have contributed to this work and thank those of our secondary academies which took part.

The top text asks, "Looking for a weekend activity for your family?" followed by "Download our colouring sheets" on a red banner. A section on the right lists "Dangers." The poster includes illustrations of water safety scenes.

This has been such a great initiative - well done team @hyndburnacademy and thanks as ever @AgecroftRC @AAYouthRowing
🚣♂️ Our Year 8 rowing team were out on the water this morning with @AgecroftRC
With the sun shining, it was a fantastic morning for a session on the water, continuing to develop teamwork and technique in the boats.

Thread: In public service reform, the thing that is most often needed - but scarcely ever provided when governments get involved - is rational, evidence-based action with a 'continuous improvement' mindset. Making better what is working and changing what isn't. 1/

📢 Today’s Curriculum and Assessment Review marks a major milestone for Physical Education in our schools.
The report calls for a bold overhaul of the PE curriculum, redefining its aims and purpose, and recognising PE as a catalyst for lifelong engagement in physical activity, enrichment, and personal development.
We’re proud to have worked with sector partners to reach this moment and excited about the opportunities ahead to raise the value and status of PE for all learners.
👉 Read our three key statements on what this means for PE:

🚨 Ahead of #InternationalDayOfTheGirl new research from our #GirlsActive 2025 report reveals that girls with multiple inequalities are being left behind in PE & school sport.
⚡ Girls are over 3.8 times more likely than boys to say they don’t like taking part in PE.
⚡ Girls who are ethnically diverse, on Free School Meals and/or with SEND are 1.3 times more likely to dislike PE compared with girls without those characteristics.
⚡ Girls with two or more characteristics of inequality are 1.3 times more likely to lack confidence in physical activity.
It’s time to break down barriers so every girl can enjoy the benefits of PE and sport.
