What do you need help with?

PE Premium, evidence and impact

Spending information, reports and evidence can be difficult to pull together. Get help making sense of what you already hold, spotting gaps and explaining what it shows.

Assessment and progress

If assessment is creating more recording than useful information, APEX can help review what you assess, what you record and how it informs the next lesson.

Curriculum and planning

Get an experienced second pair of eyes on the plans you already use. Identify gaps, unclear progression and the areas that need attention.

PE leadership and priorities

Turn an unfinished review or a long list of jobs into clear priorities and a practical plan for what happens next.

Decide your PE priorities

Staff confidence and development

Make sense of staff feedback and identify where support would be most useful. Plan development around the needs of your team.

Plan useful staff development

Participation and inclusion

Look at who is taking part, who is missing out and what might be getting in the way. Use existing information to identify practical changes worth trying.

Review participation and inclusion

Start with what you already have

You may already have the information you need. The job is often working out what matters, what is missing and what to do with it.

  • Get a clearer view of the problem.
  • Focus on the next useful action.
  • Reduce work that is not helping.
  • Turn existing information into something you can use.

PE subject leadership: decide what needs attention first.

Start with three questions: what are pupils learning, who is missing out, and what would help staff teach with greater confidence? Use what you find to choose a small number of priorities, give each one an owner and agree when to review progress.

You remain in charge of PE in your school. APEX provides review, planning and improvement support alongside your staff and existing providers.

Start with what you have

How it works

  1. 01

    Tell us the problem.

    A few lines about the job and where you’re stuck are enough to start.

  2. 02

    Work from what you already have.

    If we need to see existing plans, reports or other material, we’ll explain what would help and how to share it.

  3. 03

    Agree the next step.

    If APEX can help, we’ll agree the work, cost and timing before starting.

  4. 04

    Get something useful back.

    That might be a review, clearer document, analysis or practical next steps, depending on the job.

Prefer to do it yourself?

Choose an existing toolkit for the job in front of you. There is no need to buy a resource before asking APEX for help.
