We enjoyed a highly successful day at the Association for Physical Education (afPE) Conference, joining teachers and education professionals from across the country to celebrate and advance high-quality Physical Education for young people.

Throughout the day, delegates visited our stand in the marketplace and attended a series of workshops, creating valuable opportunities to share ideas, discuss best practice, and highlight the outstanding work taking place in schools nationwide.

The event brought together a passionate community of educators, united by a shared commitment to ensuring every child has access to an engaging, inclusive, and high-quality PE experience. Our team welcomed the opportunity to connect with colleagues, exchange insights, and learn more about the innovative approaches being implemented across the sector.

We would also like to extend our thanks to the afPE team for delivering a well-organised and engaging conference. The event provided an important platform for collaboration, professional dialogue, and recognition of the vital role Physical Education plays in supporting children’s development and wellbeing.

Reflecting on the day, our team highlighted the passion, expertise, and dedication demonstrated by educators across the profession. Events such as the afPE Conference continue to showcase the strength of the PE community and its collective commitment to shaping a positive future for Physical Education.

We’re excited to share that Complete PE is being updated – making it bigger, better, and even more user-friendly.

We have teamed up with Sports Directory to give pupils the chance to get creative and design their very own school football kit.

This is a fantastic opportunity for pupils to showcase their imagination, creativity, and pride for their school. Designs should reflect the school’s identity, values, ethos, as well as its colours and branding.

And the best part? The winning design will be turned into a real football kit!

We are delighted to announce a new partnership with the Royal Ballet & Opera aimed at enhancing the quality of dance education in schools.

This collaboration is designed to strengthen the consistency and impact of dance teaching, while providing schools with additional high-quality, curriculum-aligned resources. Our shared goal is to support teachers in delivering engaging, progressive dance lessons that inspire confidence and creativity.

Hayley Ryan, the Creative Programmes and Partnerships Manager from the Royal Ballet & Opera said: “Our partnership with Complete PE reflects a shared commitment to strengthening high-quality dance provision in schools. By bringing together our creative practice with Complete PE’s trusted curriculum framework, we’re ensuring that teachers have cohesive, evidence-informed resources that support the Curriculum and Assessment Review recommendations. Together, we’re helping more young people experience the joy, creativity and progression that dance can bring.”

Through this partnership, we aim to equip teachers with additional tools and support to build confidence in delivering dance across the curriculum.

To launch the partnership, we have added the Alice in Wonderland resources from the Royal Ballet & Opera into our Subject Support Area.

Last week, we had the privilege of once again supporting the Youth Sport Trust Conference 2026, held at the Telford International Centre.

We’re incredibly proud to support the work of the Youth Sport Trust, a charity dedicated to finding new and meaningful ways to use sport and play to improve children’s wellbeing and help create brighter futures for young people.

Seeing the impact of their work first-hand is always inspiring. The conference brought together passionate educators, leaders and organisations from across the sector, all united by a shared commitment to putting play, sport and physical activity at the heart of young people’s development. It was fantastic to see so many people sharing ideas, learning from one another and celebrating the positive difference being made in schools and communities.

Events like this are a powerful reminder of what can happen when organisations collaborate with a common purpose. When schools, charities and partners come together, the impact on young people can be truly transformational.

A huge well done to everyone involved in making this year’s conference such a success, and thank you to the Youth Sport Trust for continuing to lead such important work for children and young people across the UK.

Complete PE is excited to announce a new collaboration with the Rugby Football Union (RFU) to develop innovative T1 Rugby sequenced lesson plans for KS2.

Our partnership is built on a shared goal: to empower teachers with engaging, practical resources that make teaching games-based learning through T1 Rugby both simple and rewarding.

T1 Rugby is a non-contact version of the sport that emphasises fun, fitness, and inclusion. It incorporates many of the core elements of rugby, such as lineouts, scrums, kicking, and breakdowns, while remaining simple to play. T1 Rugby ensures that all children, regardless of their ability or background, can enjoy the game in a safe and welcoming environment.

The RFU, the national governing body for Rugby in England, works to enrich lives, expand participation, and develop the sport for future generations. Through this collaboration with Complete PE, the RFU aims to support teachers by providing high-quality, engaging resources suitable for both newcomers and those with prior experience in rugby.

Chris Sigsworth from the RFU said: “Rugby has something for everyone, whether as a teacher, player, or official. We’re delighted to be working with Complete PE to empower schools with easy-to-use resources that bring the game of T1 Rugby to life.””

This exciting new partnership reflects a shared commitment to making rugby accessible, enjoyable, and inclusive for all children, helping them to foster a lifelong love of the sport from the very start of their educational journey.

The DfE have provided schools with updated guidance to help them make effective use of their PE and Sport Premium funding.

The Youth Sport Trust (YST), in partnership with the Association for Physical Education (afPE), have developed two practical resources to support schools with their reporting. Both documents are available on their respective websites and include:

PE and Sport Premium Monitoring and Tracking Form – this is a working document to help you plan, monitor, and evidence your use of funding throughout the year.

PE and Sport Premium Spending Tracker – this is a simple Excel tool that enables you to record spending in real time, with totals calculated automatically.

To provide additional support, we’ve also created an example Monitoring and Tracking Form containing sample (fictitious) data and actions to guide schools in completing the document.

This example along with a blank version of the document can be accessed within the Subject Support Area (Curriculum Support) on Complete PE.

Please remember that schools must publish a PE and Sport Premium report on their website by 31 July each year.

We are proud to announce that we have been recognised by afPE (association for Physical Education) as an approved Curriculum Resource.

As a trusted curriculum resource we have demonstrated that Complete PE ensures that schools have the necessary quality teaching resources to deliver a effective and inclusive Physical Education curriculum.

What is an approved curriculum resource?

An afPE Approved Curriculum Resource (ACR) is a recognised mark of quality for Physical Education materials.

Through a rigorous approval process, afPE ensures that PE teaching and learning resources are evidence-informed, inclusive, and aligned with national guidance and best practice.

By accrediting high-quality resources, afPE empowers schools to deliver Physical Education that is meaningful, impactful, and enriching for all pupils.

Our aim at Complete PE is to create the best resources for teachers, supporting them to deliver high-quality PE lessons.

We will be sharing more information about this incredible news with you soon.
