FAQ

Why should I buy these schemes and not one of the others on the market?

The Rawmarsh School Schemes of Work for Games, Gym, Dance, OAA and Athletics are designed to be easy to use, but at the same time to enable teachers to deliver high quality lessons that meet the needs of the National Curriculum, and also enable schools to achieve good outcomes from Ofsted inspections.

Many of the different schemes which are on the market won't be suitable when changes are made to primary curriculum from September 2011. These schemes will be unaffected by changes and you can buy them now in full confidence that they won't be out of date.

Do teachers need training to be able to use the schemes?

Training is not required and the schemes are designed to be as easy to use as possible without any further support. The publishers, who have no teaching experience, felt that by the end of producing the artwork that they could have taught lessons using the resource and saw how easily the content could be developed into other areas, which is some indication of how easy they are to follow.

Do the schemes provide everything we need to teach the whole Physical Education curriculum?

The KS1 National Curriculum is covered with our schemes in Dance, Games and Gymnastics.

At KS2 the National Curriculum for Physical Education also covers Outdoor and Adventurous Activities (OAA) and Athletics, for which we have produced schemes.

There are no plans at the moment to produce a scheme for swimming.
