Ofsted & PE

How PE PRO Can Support an Ofsted Deep Dive

Preparing for an Ofsted deep dive can often feel overwhelming, especially when the focus turns to Physical Education. Many schools worry about PE evidence, demonstrating PE impact, and how PE contributes to their school improvement plan.

That’s where PE PRO can help.

PE PRO is a primary PE scheme of work designed to upskill teachers, improve confidence in PE delivery, and ensure schools have everything they need for inspection readiness. From Ofsted curriculum intent to attainment data and subject leader evidence, PE PRO provides a complete solution for delivering and evidencing outstanding PE provision.

1. Strengthening Teacher Confidence and Subject Knowledge

At the heart of a strong PE curriculum is a confident teaching team. PE PRO supports teachers through structured lesson plans, progressive outcomes, and easy-to-follow video demonstrations.

By improving staff knowledge and consistency, PE PRO directly supports school improvement priorities, empowering all teachers, (not just specialists) to deliver high-quality, engaging lessons. This focus on professional development aligns perfectly with Ofsted’s emphasis on staff expertise and sustainable improvement.

2. Providing Clear and Comprehensive PE Evidence

During an Ofsted deep dive, inspectors will expect to see how PE is planned, delivered, and assessed. PE PRO gives teachers and leaders the tools and documentation they need to confidently present their PE evidence, including:

• Auto-generated sequences of learning showing clear progression

• Knowledge organisers for every unit, outlining key skills, vocabulary, and knowledge

• Assessment and attainment data to demonstrate pupil progress over time

• Progressive learning outcomes that clearly link to national curriculum expectations

With PE PRO, schools can show exactly how their PE curriculum is designed and implemented, demonstrating a clear intent, implementation, and impact model that meets Ofsted requirements.

3. Demonstrating PE Impact Across the School

One of the key questions in any Ofsted inspection is how subjects contribute to the whole school impact. PE PRO makes demonstrating PE impact straightforward with built-in assessment and reporting tools that help teachers track pupil progress and showcase achievements.

Schools can easily export attainment data and progress reports, providing tangible evidence of how PE supports physical development, confidence, and teamwork, contributing to broader outcomes such as wellbeing and personal development.

This data not only strengthens your subject leader evidence but also supports strategic decision-making within your school improvement plan.

4. Aligning with Ofsted Curriculum Intent

PE PRO has been designed to align closely with Ofsted’s curriculum intent, implementation, and impact framework. Each unit follows a clear, progressive sequence, ensuring that learning builds systematically across year groups.

Subject leaders can confidently explain:

• The intent behind the PE curriculum (what pupils will learn and why)

• How lessons are implemented consistently across the school

• The impact seen through assessments, pupil engagement, and outcomes

By providing this clarity, PE PRO enables subject leaders to articulate their curriculum journey with confidence—supported by robust evidence and measurable results.

5. Empowering Subject Leaders with Evidence and Insight

PE subject leaders often face the challenge of evidencing the quality and impact of their subject. PE PRO simplifies this process by giving leaders access to comprehensive reports, pupil assessments, and learning overviews.

This allows them to gather strong subject leader evidence, demonstrate curriculum progression, and show how PE supports the school’s wider vision and values.

With just a few clicks, leaders can produce detailed summaries for Ofsted deep dives, saving valuable time while ensuring accuracy and consistency.

6. Supporting Whole School Improvement

PE PRO is more than a scheme of work—it’s a tool for whole school improvement. By embedding high-quality PE teaching, developing staff confidence, and improving pupil outcomes, PE PRO contributes to raising standards across the curriculum.

From lesson delivery to data-driven evidence, every element of PE PRO has been designed to help schools succeed in both day-to-day teaching and during Ofsted inspections.

An Ofsted deep dive doesn’t have to be stressful. With PE PRO, schools can be confident that their PE provision meets inspection expectations—supported by clear PE evidence, attainment data, and strong subject leader documentation.

More importantly, PE PRO helps schools create a lasting culture of physical activity, confidence, and enjoyment, showcasing the true impact of PE on pupils and the wider school community.
