Pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) can be more effectively supported if schools offer a broader physical education (PE) curriculum, according to Ofsted.
It wants to see schools create “an ambitious curriculum” for PE and further support SEND pupils by ensuring “staff are well trained to provide precise support in different sports so that all pupils can meet clear and ambitious end points”.
The regulator has made the call after finding that “only a small number of schools have a clearly defined and broad PE curriculum” and many “do not match the ambition of the national curriculum”.
Dance is not taught to all pupils or “is not well organised” in two thirds of schools visited.
