Black Country PE Conference goes virtual - Don’t miss out – book now!

Bookings have opened for Active Black Country’s three-week virtual PE conference which will run from 18 May until 8 June 2021.

The conference will provide support for teachers, senior leaders and young people from Primary, Secondary, Special and Alternative Provision establishments with free access to CPD sessions, advice and information sharing.

This year’s programme has been scheduled and designed to not only allow reflection, taking stock and reviewing what has happened over the past 12 months but to provide the opportunity to help shape thinking, recovery planning and forward thinking moving into the new academic year and beyond.

The programme will provide opportunities to hear and share approaches that address the current challenges of delivering PE, physical activity and enrichment across the region.
