PE
Through our engaging, broad, and balanced Physical Education (PE) curriculum, our school aims to inspire children to explore new sports, games, and activities, thereby encouraging them to lead healthy and active lifestyles.
We recognise the importance of children mastering fundamental movement skills and physical literacy during their time in primary school. To achieve this, we plan two hour-long PE sessions per week, delivered by a combination of our experienced teaching staff and externally trained coaches, ensuring that all children are appropriately challenged.
Our curriculum not only focuses on fundamental movement skills, but also enables children to apply these skills across a range of sporting activities. This approach helps them develop game-based skills, such as attacking and defending, within a sporting context.
Additionally, during Key Stage 2, our children attend swimming lessons with the aim of fostering confidence in the water and achieving competence in swimming. We recognise swimming as a vital life skill, aligning with the national curriculum statement on swimming proficiency.
To further develop their skills, we offer extracurricular clubs and events. These activities serve as valuable opportunities for children to enhance their physical abilities. We value cooperation and the development of social skills. We strive to provide children with chances to engage in both non-competitive and competitive sports. These experiences allow them to adapt and grow within different sporting environments, fostering the development of their interpersonal abilities.
