SUMMARY:National Conference for Heads of Physical Education 2026
DESCRIPTION:Event Details\n\n\n\n\n\nWelcome to the National Conference for Heads of Physical Education 2026\, in partnership with ICE Education.Physical Education is at a crossroads.
Schools of every type face growing pressures\, and recent political announcements have major implications for how PE is led\, managed\, and delivered. While government and public figures — including England’s Lionesses — champion more time and greater quality for PE and school sport\, many schools still lack a clear understanding of physical education’s unique purpose and value in their setting. \n\n\n\nAmid an obesity crisis\, a growing mental health emergency\, rising social inequality\, and increasing demands for life and work skills\, PE is often positioned as part of the solution. Yet schools are simultaneously under intense pressure to secure academic outcomes\, navigate constant curriculum reform\, and meet ever-evolving inspection frameworks — creating a conflict of priorities for PE leaders. \n\n\n\nThe Department for Education’s Curriculum and Assessment Review\, alongside the new Ofsted Inspection Framework\, signals that change is coming. This year’s Conference offers a crucial opportunity to get ahead of that change. \n\n\n\nJoin us as we explore what a modern\, impactful and holistic PE curriculum should look like. The morning features a thought-provoking keynote from Professor Ash Casey (Loughborough University) on rebalancing your priorities in PE\, followed by an essential update from Kate Thornton-Bousfield\, CEO of the Association for Physical Education. \n\n\n\nThe day will also include structured discussions on the biggest challenges facing PE today and practical opportunities to share best practice. In the afternoon\, delegates can choose from focused sessions tailored to the specific needs of their schools — helping you develop a forward-thinking and context-specific plan to lead PE with clarity and confidence. We hope the reduced price of additional places encourages you to bring colleagues along to capitalise on multiple workshops and commit to all important reflection and planning to implement ideas on your journey home. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nConference Programme\n\n\n\n9.00AM – Arrival\, Refreshments + Networking: Successes and Struggles Leading PE \n\n\n\n9.45AM – Welcome.

SUMMARY:National Conference for Heads of Physical Education 2025
DESCRIPTION:Event Details\n\n\n\nPhysical Education faces challenges in schools of all types. Recent political initiatives have implications for the way in which the subject is led\, managed and delivered. Alongside this\, there are ongoing national campaigns to improve levels of both adolescent and adult physical activity\, none of which enjoys spectacular success. Every time a national sports team is unsuccessful\, this failure is often traced back to the role of Physical Education. With schools under constant pressure to deliver results in examination courses in PE\, a range of apparently conflicting priorities emerges\, which present a dilemma to those in charge of the subject. \n\n\n\nThis year’s Conference presents an opportunity for Heads of PE to consider all of these issues\, and emerge with a modern plan for taking the subject forward in their own\, unique environment. The morning will enable an update on trends in the subject\, and the implications for PE of the recent DfE review of Curriculum and Assessment. The challenges for a modern PE programme will form the basis for structured discussion and sharing of best practice. \n\n\n\nThe afternoon presents a choice of sessions\, enabling delegates to delve more deeply into those which are especially relevant to their schools. \n\n\n\nEvent Programme\n\n\n\n\n\n9.30AM – Conference Assembles\, Refreshments \n\n\n\n10.00AM – Implications for PE of the DfE Curriculum and Assessment Review.

It does this and much much more besides\, including but not limited to the following: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nExamination PE Features\n\n\n\nWe all know how complex the PE and sports qualification landscape is so we have built a simple yet flexible tool that enables you to capture\, track and monitor a number of GCSE\, A-level and vocational pathways to include a cutting-edge video storage library that will make preparing for practical assessments\, finalising marks and even sharing with your external moderators an absolute breeze. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nExtra-Curricular and Enrichment Features\n\n\n\nOur unique tool for tracking\, monitoring and rewarding students for their commitment and engagement in extra-curricular clubs and/or representing school will not only motivate students by encouraging them to collect rings and badges but also simplify your ability to report on this year-on-year to analyse the impact of your broader offer. \n\n\n\nWe want to reward early adopters by offering a FREE trial for 1 term to make sure it is the right platform for you and will honour a lifetime reduced subscription for the first 50 schools who upgrade their trial account to a full subscription! \n\n\n\nTo start your free trial\, please click here\, otherwise we hope you can join us at this launch event to hear more about the Secondary PE passport and see a live demonstration of the platform!
