Enhance your PE & School Sport delivery with our personalised teacher CPD mentoring program.
Bristol & The Thames Valley Including Berkshire & Buckinghamshire
Master new skills, refresh knowledge, and boost confidence in delivering PE lessons.
Elevate the teaching of PE in your school with our tailored CPD programs designed to meet your specific needs and curriculum goals. Each teacher will work directly with their own class, in their own school, during their usual PE lessons. Alongside a uSports mentor, teachers will complete the uSports CPD teacher handbook to track their progress & to have a clear resource to refer back to over a half term or full term.
Targeted mentoring to support teachers exactly where they need it.
Gymnastics is one of those topics which can strike fear into your teachers, this is why our mentors are ready to deliver CPD training across the full curriculum including Dance, Gymnastics & Team Sports so that your CPD programme is exactly what it needs to be.
I would definitely recommend this programme. It’s very complete and well structured with qualified mentors that effectively support you, building your progress, confidence, maximising strengths by learning new teaching methods and approaches.
Each teacher works with their own class, in their own school, during their usual PE lessons, alongside a uSports mentor. The programme runs weekly over a half term or full term, and can begin with an initial 6-week block. Your mentor demonstrates techniques for planning, delivering and reviewing lessons across dance, gymnastics and team sports.
A mentor can cover 4–6 lessons or teachers in a day. They work around your school’s existing timetable, so teachers are mentored during the PE lessons they already teach.
Our mentors are our senior head sports coaches and quality team. They have been in the sector for many years and bring a wealth of knowledge and experience of working within schools.
Teachers complete the uSports CPD teacher handbook within the lesson itself, so there’s no extra paperwork to do afterwards. The handbook also gives teachers a clear resource to refer back to.
All of the work is recorded in the handbook, and your school keeps it as evidence for Ofsted. It includes each teacher’s confidence score out of 10 for every activity, taken before and after the programme, so progress is easy to see.
PE asks a lot of a teacher. Activities like gymnastics need careful setup and supervision to keep children safe, and without experience, lessons can end up with children waiting around instead of moving. Teachers who feel less confident may also steer away from the activities they find hardest. Our CPD builds the skills and confidence to deliver safe, active PE lessons across the full curriculum.
A Year 4 class teacher scored their confidence in each area from 1 to 10 (10 being the highest), before and after their PE CPD programme.
