To achieve outstanding results in PE we need to consider both the quality of teaching and the assessment to support learning. Effective assessment allows us to plan effectively and enables the pupils to know where they are in their learning, where they are going and what they need to do to get there. This course focuses on Assessment for Learning (AfL) and planning for implementation of an effective and innovative curriculum.
