Beyond Steps: Using Dance in Secondary PE to Support Emotional Literacy, Wellbeing and Positive Masculinity (Secondary Focus)		23/06/2026	23/06/2026	09:40	10:40	23/06/2026 09:40 - 10:40 Presenter: Eve Murphy (Dance to School) This practical, research-informed workshop explores how dance within Secondary PE can play a vital role in supporting pupils’ social, emotional and mental wellbeing, with a particular focus on engaging boys. Set against current concerns around boys’ mental health, male suicide rates, and the influence of online misogyny and rigid gender norms, the session reframes dance as an inclusive, physically challenging and emotionally literate curriculum tool. Delegates will experience a ready-to-teach lesson model that prioritises psychological safety, connection and self-expression while maintaining clear PE outcomes. Interactive activities will demonstrate how dance can help pupils explore emotions, identity and respect through movement, offering a constructive counter-narrative to harmful stereotypes of masculinity. Structured reflection and peer discussion will support delegates to translate learning into their own curriculum contexts, ensuring practice is confident, connected and curriculum ready.
Beyond the PE Lesson. How OAA Builds Life Skills, Confidence and Curriculum Connections.(Primary Focus)		23/06/2026	23/06/2026	09:40	10:40	23/06/2026 09:40 - 10:40 Presenter: Luke Vaudrey and Tom Jauncey-Childs Outdoor Adventurous Activities (OAA) provide a powerful vehicle for developing life skills, character and cross-curricular learning within PE. This workshop explores how schools can use orienteering and outdoor learning to develop problem-solving, communication, resilience and oracy while supporting a skills-based PE curriculum aligned with national priori-ties. Delegates will take part in a practical orienteering challenge on the conference site to experience how simple activities can develop teamwork, decision-making and problem-solving across the curriculum. Drawing on research around outdoor learning and practitioner insight from Tom Childs (Lead Practitioner for PE at Oasis Community Learning), the session will explore how OAA builds confidence and competence among teachers while supporting pupils’ wider development. The workshop will demonstrate how OAA can be embedded across PE and the wider curriculum to support the emerging direction of PE: confident practitioners delivering connected, skills-focused learning experiences that extend beyond the classroom.
Developing your PE curriculum – moving from sport-based to thematic game-based approach to teaching games (Primary Focus)		23/06/2026	23/06/2026	09:40	10:40	23/06/2026 09:40 - 10:40 Presenter: Ray Breed In this classroom session you will be presented with an overview of game sense, how it fits within the primary and secondary PE curriculum and ideas for developing your curriculum using modern approaches. Whilst this presentation is from an Australian perspective, links to how it can be transferred to the UK curriculum are explicitly discussed. The concept of thematic game-based approaches began in the UK with Bunker and Thorpe’s TGfU approach (1982). Key advantages of a thematic approach include: (1) transfer of skills across games within a category, (2) addressing a broader range of student outcomes, (3) wider variety of games. We will break down traditional single-sport curriculum models and look at opportunities for change and to develop a more thematic approach. Links will be made to student learning outcomes and the UK national curriculum. There will be opportunity for questions, discussion and reflection of your current practices.

We strip dance back to the essentials, making it feel completely doable. You will explore the core building blocks of primary dance: finding the beat and phrase, using the 6 movement principles, and turning simple actions into powerful short sequences. We’ll cover 4 proven teaching methods for KS1 and KS2 and finish by shaping a mini performance you can lift straight into your school. Crucially, the session is designed for instant growth. With a clear 'before and after' confidence check and practical coaching, you will leave significantly more confident, motivated, and equipped with a complete lesson structure, a workbook, and the proven formula to apply in your classroom the very next day, regardless of your starting point.
From Play to Power: Gamification to Support Fundamental Movement Skills in PE (Secondary Focus)		23/06/2026	23/06/2026	10:50	11:50	23/06/2026 10:50 - 11:50 Presenter: Dr Katie Fitton Davies / Dr Jenna Rice This gamified workshop on gamification will task delegates to supercharge their characters to combat their chosen foe. Delegates will learn about what gamification is and how it can be effectively delivered to promote fundamental movement skills (a key area in the new government agenda), as well as “troubleshooting” its application to better enable confidence. In teams, they will use newly acquired knowledge, choose from different levels of difficulty in tasks, such as quizzes and scenarios, to gain points and acquire “powers” to use against a chosen foe. Gamification is an emerging pedagogical approach in PE, demonstrating significant positive effects on children’s physical, cognitive, and affective outcomes (Arufe-Giráldez et al., 2022). Positive experiences in PE from an early age positively impacts children’s relationship with physical activity inside (Jankauskiene et al., 2022) and outside of school (Jaakkola et al., 2013), as well as physical activity habits once adults (Ladwig et al., 2018).
Inclusion in the ITE Curriculum (ITE / Teacher Educators Focus)		23/06/2026	23/06/2026	10:50	11:50	23/06/2026 10:50 - 11:50 Presenter: Leon Fraser, Declan Hamblin Ensuring that student teachers are confident and competent to meet the needs of all pupils and learners is a key theme in the new ITE Ofsted framework. This workshop will provide an opportunity to review this aspect of the Ofsted framework, hear from a provider who has recently been through an Ofsted inspection, and share practice with each other. By the end of the workshop delegates should have a better understanding of this aspect of the new ITE Ofsted framework and some tangible ideas of effective practice to consider for their own provision.
Learning through movement: developing leadership skills and leading activities through secondary physical education (Secondary Focus)		23/06/2026	23/06/2026	10:50	11:50	23/06/2026 10:50 - 11:50 Presenter: Lucy Supperstone, Gail Thornton, secondary school deliverer Secondary PE plays a vital role in developing essential skills through leadership and officiating opportunities. Though activity contexts including sport, dance and outdoor activities pupils can build their confidence through planning, leading and reviewing activities and sessions. This workshop explores how PE can be used to develop leadership skills while aligning with the evolving national direction for education. Linked to the conference theme Preparing Practitioners for a New National Direction – Confident, Connected, Curriculum-Ready, the session will demonstrate how to develop leadership skills through practical activities. Delegates will explore practical strategies that embed leadership skills within PE lessons and how these skills can be recognised through leadership awards. Deployment of leaders in the school or community through enrichment activities will be explored. Through discussion and applied examples, teachers will gain ideas for creating inclusive leadership opportunities and strengthening the connection between PE and school priorities. Delegates will leave with practical approaches to help ensure their PE provision is meaningful, skills driven and curriculum-ready for secondary learners.
Physical literacy in action: Designing activities that develop the whole child (Primary Focus)		23/06/2026	23/06/2026	10:50	11:50	23/06/2026 10:50 - 11:50 Presenter: Steve Waide / Paul Quinn / Dan Wilson This workshop explores how physical literacy can be brought to life through purposeful Primary PE curriculum design that supports children’s physical, cognitive, social and emotional development. Framed by the conference theme Preparing Practitioners for a New National Direction – Confident, Connected, Curriculum-Ready, the session draws on contemporary physical literacy research to challenge traditional activity-led approaches and reposition PE as a holistic learning experience. Delegates will engage with key theoretical principles of physical literacy, examining how motivation, confidence, competence, knowledge and understanding can be intentionally developed through PE. Practical examples will then demonstrate how small design decisions can shape learning beyond physical outcomes and align with the move, think feel, connect framework. Interactive opportunities include structured discussion around current practice and a collaborative activity-design task, enabling delegates to reflect, adapt and apply ideas directly to their own school contexts. The workshop will conclude by connecting learning to curriculum planning and assessment implications for Primary PE.
