English as an Additional Language

Access and engagement in PE - EAL
Teaching pupils PE for whom English is an additional language
This guidance applies the principles of the Key Stage 3 National Strategy
to the teaching and learning of PE for pupils learning EAL.
The guidance is in two parts:
- Sections 1 to 4 are intended for subject leaders of physical education
(PE) and ethnic minority achievement (EMA) in secondary schools. These
sections are designed to support a departmental meeting focused on reviewing
the attainment of pupils learning English as an additional language (EAL),
and should be read in conjunction with the later sections.
- Sections 5 to 8 are for all PE teachers and their EMA colleagues. They
aim to help teachers support pupils learning EAL in the classroom, particularly
those working at levels 3 to 4 and who have been learning in English for
a minimum of two years, in order to raise their attainment in PE lessons.
The Strategy has high expectations for all pupils, and the inclusion of
pupils learning EAL is a fundamental principle.
