Freelance Primary PE development and support
I am based at Garnock Academy as a secondary PE teacher. However, I have a wealth of experience delivering PE to primary pupils. My previous job titles have included PE Primary Mentor, PE Lead officer and tutor for University of Glasgow for the post graduate certificate on primary PE.
I have developed many of my own resources, as well as having used most of the currently available resources out there. Not to mention my abundance of enthusiasm and passion for physical education!!!

What can I do for you?
I can support you and your school to meet the Government guidelines of 2 hours of Quality PE every week for every pupil. I can do this in a variety of ways;
1. Provide Professional Learning (CLPL)
Practical CPD (CLPL) or twilight Workshops, Seminars, Keynote Addresses & Online Learning for Phys. Ed. specialist & Generalist classroom teachers.
Programs can be bespoke to your school or cluster, however, I envisage popular sessions will include :
- Practical Gymnastics made EASY
- Teaching Games (bespoke to be generic or specific to one sport or games category e.g Teaching all Invasion games or teaching Rugby)
- Dynamic Warm Ups & Fitness (Can be Theme or Topic related)
- Teaching Dance in Primary (this can include the A-Z of cross curricular Topic Dances, the ABC of teaching DANCE or Ms V's Big Dance Box)
- Developing an 'Outdoor Gym Hall' by utilising your outdoor space; Wyse Zones System – a simple hall and playground layout strategy to help you maximise your gym hall, equipment and outdoor space organisation
- All about Athletics - looking at how the basic skills of running, jumping and throwing contribute to lifelong learning.
- "Bringing your PE curriculum into the 21st century" by introducing Yoga and Relaxation techniques, Zumba and the latest fitness crazies, Massage for Schools, Team building/outdoor learning. Scootering, Dirt tracks for bikes, bikeability, practical First Aid blocks, more outdoor stuff.... the list is endless!!
I can deliver professional learning any night of the week as a twilight, weekends or during in-service days.
2. Consultation
By working directly with schools I can look at ways to improve the way you have designed your PE program.
Services could include: evaluating, developing or improving your current program or providing professional learning & support for teachers who are responsible for the delivery of the PE program within your school.
In addition I can help your school and associated secondary school adopt and set up a cluster PE team, plan and timetable.
Or
If you have identified a need in a specific area, I would love to help you address it (e.g. equipment organisation, resource storage or distribution) .
3. Mentoring
Learn from someone who has ‘been there & done that'. With over 17 years of experience teaching Physical Education in nurseries, primary and secondary school settings there is little that, as an educationalist, I haven’t done in some form or another.
I can help student teachers, probationers or classroom teachers by TEAM TEACHING with them as well as providing them with the resources, education and support to empower them to 'do their job better and with greater ease'.
4. Link with ACTIVE SCHOOLS and SPORTS DEVELOPMENT OFFICERS
to provide seemless pathways of physical activity for all in North Ayrshire
My job is to try to link school Physical Education with the Active Schools team, the Sports development team and the Local Authority leisure opportunities to ensure that the services we are providing fit together and provide a range of sporting and physical activity pathways for our young children. This will ensure that all pupils have a quality experience within school and then an opportunity to enhance that experience independantly outwith school. If I don't know what's going on in your area, I should know a man or lady that does.
