1Question

Tell me about a time you motivated a reluctant student to participate in PE

During my placement at Westfield Academy, I had a Year 9 student who consistently avoided participating in PE due to low confidence. I identified that she enjoyed dance but felt intimidated by traditional sports. I created a modified fitness circuit that incorporated dance movements and partnered her with a supportive classmate. Over 6 weeks, her participation increased from 20% to 85% of lesson time. She eventually joined the school's dance club and her overall confidence improved significantly, with other teachers noting positive changes in her engagement across subjects.
2Question

Describe a situation where you had to manage challenging behaviour during a sports activity

During a football match with Year 8 students, two players became aggressive after a disputed goal, leading to pushing and shouting that disrupted the entire class. I immediately stopped play, separated the students, and used calm, clear instructions to redirect the group's attention to fair play rules we'd established. I had both students sit out for 5 minutes to cool down, then facilitated a discussion about sportsmanship. The remainder of the lesson proceeded smoothly, and both students apologised to each other. This approach reduced similar incidents by 60% over the following term.
