Fifteen areas. One clearer picture.
PE leads and senior leaders often have curriculum, staffing, provider contracts, evidence and governor reporting moving at the same time. The Health Check brings the important questions together and helps identify what deserves attention first.
It is a self-review, not a sales brochure. Nothing in it depends on hiring APEX.
Turn your primary PE audit into a useful action plan.
For each area, record what is working and the evidence behind your rating. Choose the priorities that will make the biggest difference, then agree one practical action, an owner and a review date for each. Return to the same questions to check what has changed.
- Is the school ready to evidence how PE and Sport Premium has been used?
- Can leaders explain the difference that investment has made?
- Are staff confident delivering PE across the curriculum?
- Is curriculum coverage clear and on track?
- Are clubs, competitions and swimming provision accounted for?
- Are the next priorities clear enough to act on?

About the Health Check
Questions schools ask.
Is the Health Check really free?
Yes. There are no card details, no obligation and no requirement to buy anything else.
Who should complete it?
It works best when a PE lead and a member of senior leadership complete it together, although headteachers and governors can use it independently.
Can it be shared with governors?
Yes. It can be used as a starting point for a governor discussion about PE and Sport Premium.
What if the score is low?
A low score is not a judgement. It simply identifies which areas should receive attention first.
Is this a full PE audit?
The Health Check is a short self-review to help you choose priorities. It does not replace a detailed curriculum review, lesson observation or a discussion with staff and pupils. Use it to decide where a closer look would be useful.
