Join us online on Thursday 17th October from 4.15pm for our intro session to the SEND PE Teacher Support Network.
Merton SSP are looking forward to our first SEND PE Teacher Support Network online meeting this coming Thursday 17th October 2024.
We will begin the call at 4.15pm and aim to end around 5.15pm
This first session will be an initial introduction to the plans for future sessions and we will share a number of SEND opportunities and resources available to schools to support mainstream and special school PE provision.
The purpose of the network is to offer the space for Merton school educators to share PE practices and ideas as well as ask questions for the challenges faced when planning and delivering lessons for children with physical and cognitive difficulties and impairments.
We hope to layer the network over the coming year and specify each session to a topic area, tailored to the queries of our teachers and like-situations of our children. We intend for this specific approach to build connections between schools and teachers to feel confident when approaching PE, Physical Activity and School Sport.
Sessions are available to all staff. Please do encourage all teaching staff who are working with SEND individuals and groups in a PE and physical activity setting as well as any SENCOS, 1-1 support staff and any others you may feel this would be beneficial for along to the session. Please also share details for those who cannot attend but would like to be involved and we can be sure to include them in future correspondence.
The sessions will also offer a mini case study space to share practices and experiences to encourage all on the call. If you or another at your school would like to share on a particular practice that you have developed to address a need around inclusion and SEND in PE in your lessons, please let us know and we will facilitate this time.
We aim to host 4 sessions during the year and will release a full set of dates in due course.
