Physical Education
Intent
It is our intention that pupils:
- are provided with high quality PE teaching, sporting learning opportunities and sports provision which is inclusive for all and engages pupils in a supportive and challenging environment.
- are immersed in a culture which aims to inspire an active generation who enjoy PE, encourage each other and achieve at their own level
- are educated in the benefits of sport and exercise, leading to long term healthy and active lifestyles
- are supported in becoming resilient and reflective, whilst striving for personal excellence and portraying good sportsmanship
- adopt a positive growth mindset and believe that anything can be achieved with the right attitude
- are taught the value and benefits of collaboration, cooperation and teamwork, with an understanding of fairness and equality
- compete appropriately against others, celebrating their own and others sporting achievements and successes
The aims of Physical Education (PE) at our school, are that all children:
- are physically active for sustained periods of time
- lead healthy active lives
- enjoy sporting activities and have fun, developing resilience and perseverance.
Implementation
- We provide challenging and enjoyable learning through a range of sporting activities including; invasion games, net and wall, striking and fielding activities, gymnastics and dance.
- We ensure the requirements of the National Curriculum and EYFS Framework are met following our long-term PE curriculum overview which sets out the units to be taught throughout the year, ensuring lessons are progressive
- children enjoy PE lessons each week led by a specialist member of staff, covering two sporting disciplines every half term. Children are encouraged to participate in the varied range of extra-curricular activities available during lunchtime and after school.
In addition we have an annual sports day (split into KS1 and KS2) with the emphasis on participation and achievement for all, parents included.
Impact
The impact of the PE curriculum can be seen through our pupils:-
- learning to take responsibility for their own health and fitness and many also enjoy the success of competitive sports
- being inspired to have a love of sport and to grow up to have happy and healthy lives; utilising the skills and knowledge they have acquired
- supporting their peers to develop and excel in sport and across the curriculum, celebrating the achievement of others
- showing a willingness and ability to try new sports and activities, push themselves and persevere in light of new challenges
