• Adapt PE and physical activity to ensure students with SEND and SEMH needs can participate safely and meaningfully

• Create safe, stimulating learning environments, organising equipment, spaces and groupings effectively

• Promote physical activity as a tool for confidence, regulation, teamwork and personal development

• Work collaboratively with colleagues, LSAs, care staff and families to ensure consistent support for students

• Contribute to curriculum development, school improvement priorities and the wider life of the school
