Physical Education (PE)

PE

PE is an extremely important subject for both the physical and mental wellbeing of children. As such, we aim to teach many different sports and activities in our PE lessons as well as offering many extra-curricular PE options. The children will also have the opportunity to take part in sporting competitions against other schools and develop many character-building skills in line with the national curriculum and early years curriculum.

Intent

  • To give all children the confidence and competence to engage in a range of physical activities. 
  • To create a broad PE curriculum that is ambitious and offers a balanced access to a range of sport and sporting opportunities.
  • For children to demonstrate consistent progression in sport and their core knowledge through their subsequent years in school and within each unit of learning.
  • To increase participation of children in a range of internal and external sporting events, both competitive and to inspire.
  • For all children to lead physically active and healthy lives into adulthood, influenced both in school and at home.
  • To utilise expert teaching and skills to support children.
  • To provide stimuli for children to see the purpose and relevance within what they’re learning.
  • For children to reflect upon their learning and set their own goals based on their own starting point within their unit.

  • Purchase of high-quality sports equipment and uniform that links to needs of teaching scheme.
  • Pupil voice: opportunities given to children to voice their opinions about sport and surveys carried out by children to provide feedback for sporting events.

  • Children are to be stimulated and inspired by others and their own goals by learning about relevant sporting icons and stories.
  • Children to broaden their knowledge of the opportunities in sports available to them and find motivation through a visual end point that their sequence of lessons will lead them towards.
  • Children to develop their ability to reflect upon their own skills within a sport and enhance their motivation in setting and achieving their own goals.
