SPIRALPE in our school

We chose SPIRALPE because it is an engaging, practical tool to help children develop a lifelong love of moving and being physically active.

The starting point for any curriculum is to capture the imagination of the pupils and to help build an interest in the subject area, so that they can develop the deep understanding and gain the practical skills they need to reach their potential.

“We believe SPIRALPE is best practice for teaching PE and are proud that our student teachers use the SPIRALPE curriculum across their placements and beyond.”

Paul Ogilvie, Senior Consultant for PE, Leeds Beckett University

“In our recent PE deep dive, the words Ofsted used were, ‘It is beyond PE.’ Since subscribing to SPIRALPE, year on year our student surveys show this to be our most popular subject.”

~ Kevin Precious (Assistant Head Teacher) Morley Victoria Primary School

“It’s incredibly easy to use: pick your week, pick your year group and open your lesson plan, complete with clear objectives, key vocabulary and progression points. It even tells you exactly what equipment to get out of the PE cupboard.”

~ Laura Slater (PE Leader) Churwell Primary School

“SPIRALPE opens the doors for children to develop their physical literacy. We have seen an increase in pupil motivation, confidence and physical competency, as well as increased knowledge and understanding across our physical education.”

~ Rebecca Collier-Tranchard (Assistant Head Teacher) St Joseph’s Primary School, Wetherby

“The SPIRALPE Curriculum is a great resource that supports us in delivering a fantastic balance of skills and activities for our pupils at St John's Specialist School.
The lessons are easily adapted to meet the needs of our pupils and the balance and coordination sessions have provided fantastic 1-1 intervention sessions for some of our pupils. The well-structured syllabus is incredibly easy to use and provides consistency across our cohorts.”

~ Kate Pirie (PE Leader) St John’s Specialist School

“SPIRALPE has re-energised our PE teaching! Teachers feel confident to deliver really high-quality, adaptable sessions that focus on developing skills sequentially. The lesson concepts are so simple, yet adaptable to suit all abilities and the training session from the SPIRAL team really embedded the concept of supporting and challenging children within lessons through the STEP model (Space, Time, Equipment, People).”

~ Gavin Hirst (Head Teacher) Crossley Street Primary School

“The SPIRALPE Assessment tool enables you to record the attainment and progress of your children and identify where targeted interventions or further challenge can effectively maximise outcomes for your children. We have seen increased progress and attainment year on year, particularly where we have targeted vulnerable groups through the SPIRALPE ASSESSMENT tool.”

~ Katie Welsh (PE Leader) Deighton Gates Primary School
