“I’ve gained practical ideas that have already made a real difference to my PE sessions. I now think much more carefully about adapting activities and equipment to meet individual needs, including introducing a lightweight football so a child who uses a wheelchair can participate more fully. Using the STEP approach has been particularly useful, and I’ve also developed a much stronger working relationship with the teaching assistant, discussing lesson plans in advance so we can make sessions more inclusive for every child. I’ve even reorganised our PE equipment to make it more accessible and inclusive. I now feel better equipped to reflect on my sessions, make appropriate adaptations and ensure every child feels included, supported and engaged.” 

Ryan Pick, Boston United Community FC

“Having worked with children with SEND in alternative provision for three years, I already had valuable practical experience, but this was the first course I’ve completed that has really enhanced my training in this area. I’ve gained new ideas for adapting everyday PE activities and equipment to make sessions more inclusive and enjoyable, from using adjustable basketball hoops for wheelchair users to guide ropes and verbal commands for children with visual impairments. I now have greater knowledge and confidence to adapt activities around individual needs and create PE experiences where every child has the opportunity to participate, have fun, and feel included.” 

Neil Cappleman, Sports Coach
