    • PE

    Intent 

    We aim to inspire all children and for each child to fulfil their potential. We want the children’s experience of PE to be positive and motivating. PE enables pupils to become physically confident.  This supports their health, wellbeing and fitness and provides the foundations for lifelong activity. 

    We want them to succeed and excel in competitive sport and physical activities. We offer all children chances to compete in sport and other activities. This helps them build character and learn values such as fairness and respect.  Through PE, we develop the children’s knowledge, skills and understanding. They build confidence and competence in a range of activities. 

    Implementation 

    Each child receives 2 hours of PE a week with specialist coaches or class teachers. We plan their sessions to cover a broad and full range of skills and activities. Children in key stage 2 attend swimming lessons in a local pool. They learn to swim 25 metres competently and confidently in a range of strokes. 

    Children also have the chance to be active in wide range of clubs. 

    We teach in a way that children: 

    • have fun and experience success in sport 

    • can join in at their own level of development 

    • build and secure a range of skills 

    • develop good sporting attitudes 

    • understand basic rules 

    • experience positive competition 

    • learn in a safe environment 

    Aims 

    Our curriculum aims to ensure that all pupils: 

    • develop their fundamental movement skills 

    • improve their agility, balance and coordination 

    • lead and join in PE games with growing confidence, developing their speaking and listening 

    • skills 

    • learn useful PE vocabulary and knowledge to help them at KS3 and beyond 

    • enjoy fitness and understand the importance of good diet and exercise 

    Impact 

    All children receive a broad and balanced PE curriculum. Every child will access the all the key areas of the subject. Teachers plan PE with clear progression of skills and knowledge. This ensures that all children access it at an age-appropriate level. 

    We also hold daily opportunities for physical activity. These include The Primary Marathon Challenge and playground games at lunchtimes. 

    The children can also take part in competitions against other local schools.
