My name is Karen Breen and I am an Education advisor working locally and across the East Midlands to offer schools, Universities and private companies support with all aspects of primary PE.
I have worked in various roles within Education from SLT to school Advisor and spend most of my time now supporting schools & raising the profile of PE in schools. I help schools develop exciting and innovative curricular for all age groups and empower staff to build upon their subject knowledge to deliver with confidence, a variety of subject areas within PE to cater for various abilities and competencies.
I am passionate about Physical Education and school sport and the numerous benefits they bring to a child’s life. I believe Physical Education should maintain a core stability within the timetable of a school to not only develop a child’s physical, mental and social skills but also develop aspects of a child’s character that may go unnoticed or unaddressed in other subject areas. Therefore this subject is crucial in the holistic development of our children and must be given a reasonable proportion of the school timetable.
I have written this blog as several schools wish to keep updated with regards to the ongoing developments in Physical Education and school sport. The landscape often changes dramatically so I hope you find my posts interesting and useful.
If you would like to keep up to date with key developments that affect PE please follow me or contact me and I would be happy to help and subscribe to this blog below.
