Dear Pauline
For this kind of thing I would suggest contacting ABAPSTAS (The Association of Blind and Partially Sighted Teachers and Students) www.abapstas.org.uk
There is a phone number on the ABAPSTAS website. In particular Murray Glickman has great commitment and expertise in supporting VI trainees and new teachers.
Working with a teaching assistant or support worker may be one solution, especially as teaching PE will only be a relatively small part of the job. You might get some insight into how this could work from watching the video of a VI Primary school teacher on the old Skill website at www.skill.org.uk/page.aspx?c=371&p=487#Brenda
