PE Audit of Equipment
Equipment Current Status q Overall the school is well equipped with the majority of equipment in a new or good condition. q There are sufficient resources for the major team sports (Tennis, Rugby, Basketball, Cricket and Rounders). q Teaching resources are available, although these are not organised well. q Until now the PE equipment has been kept under lock and key. q Equipment is kept in a disorganised way which isn t easily accessible. Noticeable Gaps q No line markings in either halls. q Significant gap in equipment provision for Gymnastics, Football and Netball. q Poor storage of equipment. q Low level of staff awareness of PE equipment and resources available. Actions to be taken q Discuss with SLT possibility of marking halls. q Order in missing equipment. q Order new storage and arrange for setup and transfer of equipment. q Use email and staff meetings to update staff and make people aware of resources and equipment available.
