Inclusive/SEND planning

Schools are building confident, active pupils every day, but the impact isn’t always easy to communicate. The real challenge is finding the time to share that impact clearly with parents, governors and your school’s wider community.

AI enables quick, professional storytelling without extra workload.

For PE Leads, this means turning whole school impact into clear reports and strategic updates.

For class teachers, it means celebrating class successes, sharing pupil progress and communicating confidently with parents.

AI helps you draft quickly. Your professional judgement ensures accuracy, safeguarding and authenticity.

Why showcasing PE matters

High-quality PE does more than develop physical skills. It builds confidence, resilience, teamwork and wellbeing. But if that impact isn’t communicated clearly, it can be overlooked.
Schools achieve great things daily. AI helps you share these outcomes clearly and efficiently.

Used well, it helps you:

  • Celebrate pupil success
  • Demonstrate PE Premium impact
  • Promote inclusive practice
  • Build confidence in your PE provision
  • Strengthen engagement with parents and governors

For class teachers: quick communication prompts

AI can help draft clear communication quickly, giving you more time to focus on teaching. AI can help teachers create:

  • Short newsletter updates

  • Parent communication

  • Celebration stories

Tone, ethics and safeguarding

As highlighted in Part 1 and the DfE guidance, AI should support drafting communication, but responsibility always remains with school staff.
Always:
✅ Match your school tone: positive, inclusive and pupil-centred
❌ Never fabricate quotes or statistics
✅ Check consent for names and photos
✅ Review for bias or exaggerated claims
🔐 Store drafts securely

AI supports your communication. It should never replace professional judgement.
