On point. We love the starters and plenaries.
They are always good to get a lesson kick started. Plenaries are particularly useful for setting as an online task. Useful when student's are isolating. They find these easier to use.
You should use Zigzag as the resources are ideally pitched for pupils to use.

R. Flowers, Head of PE and Customer

A very good resource that would be of great benefit to all students studying the Edexcel GCSE PE Specification. There are clear instructions for both teachers and students. This makes the resource very easy to use and saves time when planning lessons. The plenaries offer a fantastic way to consolidate learning at the end of a lesson. The tasks are very well planned and offer a range of tasks for students to complete. Some fantastic ideas to start and end lessons, whilst checking for pupil progress and understanding.

Very good – clear and concise. [My] students understanding of topic areas have improved and key points have been reinforced. Well worth the money – students enjoyed using the sheets.

S Sabberton-Coe, PE & Sport Director and Customer

The student worksheets are of a high quality and provide differing levels of challenge. I particularly liked the variation in the activities... which suit learners of different styles. Some are very simplistic, while others are slightly longer and require more in depth thinking skills. The resource has been designed with the specification at the heart... seen by the level of specification detail as well as the key terminology used by the exam board.

S Sheppard, PE Teacher & Peer Reviewer

The resource is easy to understand with the teacher notes being a particular strength. The range of activities is great and gives the teacher ideas to apply the tasks to a range of topic areas. It is simple to follow and provides answers which speeds up planning and helps develop teacher knowledge quickly about the new specification. The tasks are clear and are differentiated for students to push the more able students using explanations and sporting examples. The resources will engage students and help their progress.

T Briggs, PE teacher & Peer Reviewer

Short and succinct and helped recap learning. Their are clear answers that the students can use and learn from. Saves time creating your own.
