The County priority is STILL to promote high quality physical education through the use of core tasks (namely the new resource that has been created by QCA plus new core tasks created by Nora Loftus based on all  'old' QCA tasks - these will be around £50 - not bad for 46 cards and a DVD!).

As before I'll liaise with PLT's to pick the best Core tasks to match to planning and events entered into. As I have introduced the core tasks to all schools - but only two members of staff it will be essential to introduce the idea to whole staff during a staff meeting or twighlight session. These would ideally be in Autumn 1 if at all possible! We can do a simple introduction or add on a practical session to use a full staff meeting time - the choice is yours!

• In - school Support by SSCO Stephen Brentnall - will have Thursday or Friday afternoons
