The Changing Rooms

On Wednesday 24th June 2026, we brought together PE and Sport theory teachers for a live CPD event - Project 'Perfect' PE Teaching.

In this episode, we're reflecting on what happened: the ideas that sparked conversation, the concept behind this idea, the challenges teachers are facing in their departments, and what we learned from being in the room together.

This episode is for anyone thinking about how to raise standards in PE and Sport theory teaching, and whether it's time to bring this kind of CPD into your own school or trust.

If this resonates with you, we'd love to help you take it further:

• Want ongoing support for your department? Explore the PE Teacher Academy for resources, training, and a community built specifically for PE and Sport theory teachers.

What if every PE lesson you taught came with honest, subject-specific feedback? In this episode, we explore the critical role of feedback in PE and Sport, and introduce Starlight, the AI-powered tool that's finally making that possible for teachers. Whether you're in the gym, on the field, or in the classroom, this episode will challenge how you think about professional development. 🌟🎧

If your students are losing marks on extended writing questions, you're not alone. In this episode, we dig into the root causes of the extended writing problem in PE and Sport courses, and share practical, classroom-ready strategies that teachers can start using straight away. 🎧
