PE resources to support in-school and remote learning for teachers and home-schooling parents or carers of primary school children.
Virtual PE curriculum
The Youth Sport Trust is delighted to have partnered with Oak National to create a virtual PE curriculum to support with remote learning. Find the lessons here.
Secondary #ThisIsPE Activities
Each #ThisIsPE secondary PE activity comes with a downloadable learning card outlining what space and equipment is needed, personal and physical learning outcomes, guidance on adapting the activity to make it harder or easier and some questions to consider.
All activities can be done at home and with household objects. All videos have been filmed by current secondary PE teachers who are part of the Youth Sport Trust Secondary PE CatalYST network.
