Pupil Voice Feedback...
We recently asked pupils for their voice, by asking 12 questions; 2 open questions and 10 questions to which they agree, disagree or weren't sure, to attain feedback from the KS2 pupils we teach PE. We wanted their personal opinion on their feelings, knowledge and understanding to gain an overview of how PE affects them, how we are performing and what we can do to increase the positive impact sport can have on them.

What our findings tell us...
Importance of PE
Children understand the importance of being fit, active and healthy as part of their health and wellbeing. But also the importance that PE is fun and engaging with the interaction of participating with others is huge.
Confidence
We need to focus on those who feel low in self-confidence and self-esteem by ensuring they; are given the support, develop the confidence and feel happy in their ability to achieve within PE
Behaviour
The majority of pupils are demonstrating good behaviour & good attitudes in PE lessons. However, we need to engage, motivate and stimulate the 26% not demonstrating positive behaviour to keep those pupils consistently performing and improving.
Understanding
Pupils require more development in understanding the body, with how and what effects exercise does to our body. We also to provide clearer communication on what skills pupils are learning and what the lesson outcomes are within all lessons.
Extracurricular Clubs
It is important to find out why 45.7% of pupils are not participating in extra-curricular clubs, also how they are staying active if they are not involved in ASCs' & how we could use ASCs' to benefit more children.
Passion
Pupils were found to have the most passion for Football, Dodgeball and Dance. They also displayed huge passion for PE through asking for increased opportunity and requesting for better behaviour from those in lessons.
