Physical Education
Curriculum Overview
Our curriculum approach to PE reflects our ethos statement ‘We live life in all its fullness’. In particular, we are keen for pupils to discover their own passion and enthusiasm for sport and physical activity.
Intent
For all children to have a love of physical activity and sport. For children to develop key skills and have opportunity to use these skills against other teams, both in school and outside. To offer a wide range of extended opportunities for pupils who wish to develop and continue sporting activities through specialist coach-led after school clubs.
Implementation
PE is taught discretely by the class teacher or a specialist coach. As well as PE lessons, the children in Reception and Year 1 take part in weekly Forest School activities. After school we offer a range of extracurricular sports clubs to years 1 – 6.
Impact
Children engage in and enjoy PE and are able to apply the skills they have learnt to opportunities outside of school. Children enjoy physical activity and develop healthy habits leading to healthy lifestyles. KS1 and KS2 children are given the opportunity to take part in events, competing within school and against other schools in the area.
Planning
We follow the National Curriculum and use REAL PE (scheme) to teach PE lessons. This Scheme of work clearly demonstrate how physical education learning sequences increase the depth of understanding and range of skills and knowledge throughout the primary years.
