Physical Education
Intent
The national curriculum for PE aims to ensure that all pupils: develop competence to excel in a broad range of physical activities. are physically active for sustained periods of time. engage in competitive sports and activities
Our Physical Education curriculum aims to inspire all children to participate, succeed and excel in physically-demanding activities as well as competitive sport. Physical Education will provide opportunities for pupils to become physically confident in a way which supports their health and fitness. Opportunities to take part in festivals or competitions will be offered embed values such as fairness, respect, teamwork and other sporting attitudes
Through Physical Education we aim to develop the children’s knowledge, skills and understanding, so that they can perform with increasing confidence and competence in a range of physical activities. We aim to highlight the important impact being active has on health and well-being, promote active participation and lifelong learning, and for each child to fulfil their potential.
We aim to ensure that the children’s experience of Physical Education is positive and motivating and that children’s attitudes to a healthy lifestyle are firmly embedded in our curriculum.
Implementation
Each child receives 2 hours of curriculum time PE on a weekly basis which is carefully planned and mapped out to ensure a broad and full range of skills and activities. These sessions are either delivered by specialist coaches or class teachers during PE lessons.
Knowledge and skills progressions
Impact

We have dedicated Sports Leaders who will also promote physical activity and organise activities on the playground.
