While REAL PE is great for fundamental skills and the different learning behaviours, as a new teacher it is a LOT to get your head round and as PE lead, the website can sometimes be hard to navigate/documents are missing, which has lead to inefficiencies.
Jess found real PE:
- Reduces teacher workload“Lessons are planned for, challenges planned for, resource list made - but this is under the assumption that the school has the equipment and if not then changes have to be made”
- Improves teaching efficiency“Lessons are to the point and engaging”
- Improves teacher knowledge“The progression of the physical literacy elements has been great to see and it'll be interesting to see how the children develop now that REAL PE is more embedded as the years go along. Teachers now have a better understanding of why the fundamental skills are so important.”
- Builds student knowledge“Students have been able to use previous learning to inform new skills being taught and seen the links and why we have done the lessons in the order we have done”
Dec 2023
We love the program. Our concerns moving forward is the running costs; particularly as a small school. We are unable to see how we can sustain and continue using the program.

I have found real PE to be an extremely accessible, supportive and effective resource for all types of teachers, no matter their ability. You can deliver high quality PE by just scratching the surface of the platform, but can also provide outstanding lessons consistently by accessing the futher features, which accelerate learning and have lasting impact.
Beccy Cresswel found real PE:
- Reduces teacher workload“The platform is so straightforward to use, with all kinds of support just a 'click' away. The consistency of all programmes makes using this so simple for teachers, no matter what their previous experience or skill set is with teaching PE. This ultimately saves time whilst providing an accessible way to deliver high quality teaching and learning.”
- Improves teaching efficiency“As above”
- Improves teacher knowledge“Features such as the FMS button provides the how and the why for teachers to use in their delivery, giving a deeper understanding which, in turn, impacts positively on learning.”
- Builds student knowledge“Sharing the how and why from the FMS icon deepens understanding for the pupils too.”

It's the best scheme out there in terms of it's inclusivity and the impact it has regarding lifelong enjoyment/uptake of physical activity.

It's a high-quality scheme of learning that is accessible and adaptable. It also offers opportunities for CPD via 'my learning' as well as assessment term on term.

- Builds student knowledge“The lessons are progressive and encourages dialogue and questioning to reflect on learning and progress.”
Nov 2023
I have used this in a previous school and saw a positive impact in staff and pupil engagement in PE. Teachers are often nervous of teaching PE and have very little quality subject knowledge as teacher training around PE is not always good. Real PE demonstrates the learning to the teachers, increases their confidence and in turn improves outcomes.
Clare Lodge found real PE:
- Reduces teacher workload“Teachers express that the lessons are clearly mapped out and adapting them for the needs of the children is easy.”
- Improves teaching efficiency“Real PE is a 'one stop shop', for teaching and assessment”
- Improves teacher knowledge“The videos are particularly useful”
- Builds student knowledge“As the teaching is more effective the pupil knowledge will automatically increase”

Everything you need for a lesson is provided , allows inclusion and supported learning - activities provide assessment opportunities without children feeling pressure . Maybe “game” extension lessons could be something to be considered ( where children demonstrate skills within a game to aid inclusion . )

I have recently had the wonderful pleasure of a deep dive in PE from ofsted with a great result of 'good' across all areas and excellent subject knowledge as a PE lead. I genuinely believe that this was possible through the support of Real PE platform and supporting documents. Training and evaluative lesson plans to hand, that I was confident in my PE curriculum, to articulate and demonstrate through lesson observations the immense impact that Real PE has on all children's physical literacy and personal development.
Anne Davies found real PE:
- Reduces teacher workload“Planning and differentiation of lesson plans could not be any more simpler to follow. Saving time and energy finding resources to suit all levels. The videos are particularly useful to support individual learning pathways. I have complete confidence in the programme for all year bands across all areas, dance, PE, gym.”
- Improves teaching efficiency“All resources at fingertips used on either an ipad of laptop. Ability to see the terms curriculum map for forward planning.”
- Improves teacher knowledge“The new my learning is amazing to improve teachers knowledge at a pace that fits around individual life styles. It is progressive, easy to follow and allows you to revisit as many times as you like.”
- Builds student knowledge“Student knowledge is progressive throughout each lesson through the reviews and questions alongside the learning outcomes for each session. It allows the teacher to focus on the specific needs for the group.”

I have sat with PE leads and personally recommended the platform out. It's not so much about the actual platform but the support I have received from Matt and Rupert. When I ad Ofsted, they were the first people I phoned, the support me to not only support my school but progress with my confidence and my own career too. They have always listened to me and supported any issues I have had. They have always been on the other end of a phone when I have become stuck and they are so inspiring when they enter the school. Children look up to them and teachers want to teach like them. Teachers at my school feel incredibly confident now with teaching PE, when we started this journey, PE was our weakest area of the curriculum. In October, my Headteacher put PE forward to Ofsted as it is now our strongest. The platform is great and there is support for every single area possible. 1-1 meetings are always so supportive of the schools journey. Meetings with other RealPE members is beneficial so we can all discuss new aspects of the platform or discuss new problems/solutions. I cannot recommend RealPE enough - they have been fantastic.
Imogen Knowles found real PE:
- Reduces teacher workload“Teachers have the plans and resources in front of them - they don't need to think about new ideas.”
- Improves teaching efficiency“Teachers feel confident and the support from Matt and Rupert have helped improve the quality of teaching in person.”
- Improves teacher knowledge“All the key skills are there. There are questions to support their learning.”
- Builds student knowledge“Children have questions asked to them - more of student knowledge would be good though. Key words etc.”

Every aspect of the programme is wonderful and includes fantastic training too. The Create Tutor motivated and engaged the entire team, and had a clear passion for changing the nation's culture and attitudes - this really shone through. The values-led approach is very different to traditional PE approaches and will really allow every child and every member of staff to flourish, regardless of their own ability, and they demonstrated everything in action. On top of all this, the teaching resources and assessment materials will drastically cut workload and ensure we are delivering very high quality PE across school. The team were left energised, confident and raring to go. We cannot thank Create enough.

Since using Jasmine we have seen a great improvement in our teaching and learning in PE. It is clear for pupils and staff while being able to spend time practising skills and positive learning behaviours.
Callie Gregory found Jasmine:
- Builds student knowledge“It allows children to see what they are working on and their next steps. It clearly shows what they children need to do to achieve.”
- Improves teaching efficiency and productivity“Jasmine allows you to follow a teaching sequence to allow children to develop their FUNs movements and learning cogs. It gives you a clear progression in each sessions as well as over a half term. It also allows you to have freedom to adapt your teaching to suit you.”
- Reduces teacher workload“Jasmine has everything you need in one place which allows teacher to know the expectations of lessons and where they need to get the children to. We have tried to ensure that teacher spend time looking at Jasmine before a session to get the best out of it rather than using it as a pick up and teach resource.”
- Improves teacher knowledge and skills“Jasmine allows teachers to break down skills into different steps which makes is simple to understand and allows skills to build.”
