5. Building on and benefiting from the generic skills developed through PE and sport

Sport and PE also develop skills that are relevant in other areas of the curriculum. These include observational skills, analytical skills, leadership, teamwork, communication, and motor skills. It is not unusual for pupils to regularly demonstrate these skills in a sport context, but not in other curriculum areas, which could be seen as a waste of talent and certainly does not support raised achievement. Explicitly developing and building on skills developed in PE in a wider range of circumstances is more complex than the other strategies because it requires schools to develop skills in a coordinated way, rather than each subject determining its curriculum in isolation. However, schools that have done this have reaped the rewards in terms of increased skill and confidence levels in pupils, as well as reducing the amount of teaching time for duplicate ideas between subjects.

Learning Objective

The aim of this topic is to provide physical education teachers with suggestions to correctly communicate with teachers of other subjects, in order to involve them in activities connected with sport and physical growth.
