About Val Sabin Publications

25 Years ago Val Sabin was the originator of teaching manuals for physical education. We are still the only publisher to produce specialist comprehensive and user-friendly PE manuals rich with subject knowledge.

Each manual has been produced to answer a specific need, and all the material exceeds National Curriculum requirements, is thoroughly tested, and proven and is fully inclusive. The manuals are now used in schools all over the world.

Outdoor & Adventurous Activities manual

We are still the only company to produce complete, whole-school schemes of work for Gymnastics, Dance, Games, Athletics and Outdoor and Adventurous Activities for Primary Schools and have the largest range of Physical Development publications and activities for the early years.

We can provide a totally unique and bespoke inset and regional training for any subject areas covered by our manuals, including administration, planning and assessment.

Our delivery team are all highly trained advisors and are all QTS. Our manuals are progressive and developmental throughout and are the most comprehensive and user-friendly.

The whole school “master manuals” are printed on card in ring-bound folders and come with a copyright waiver for the purchasing school which means that teachers can photocopy and personalise their lessons.

These schemes of work are presented in a simple format:

• A teaching guide (including a simple assessment system and planning grid to help the PE co-ordinator).

• Lesson plans divided into units of work.

• A section at the back on breaking down and teaching the specific skills of the subject, or providing any essential resources.

• To complete the package there are accompanying CDs where appropriate (e.g. 9 CDs for Reception KS1 and KS2 Dance).
