P.E

Physical education at our school is taught in line with the requirements of the National Curriculum and plays a vital role in supporting pupils’ physical, social and emotional development. Our curriculum is designed to ensure all children develop the skills, knowledge and confidence needed to lead active and healthy lifestyles.

Our PE curriculum provides a broad and balanced range of activities which develop fundamental movement skills, agility, balance and coordination. Pupils are taught to apply these skills through a variety of games, gymnastics, dance and athletic activities. As pupils progress through the school, they are encouraged to refine techniques, develop tactical understanding and work both independently and as part of a team.

PE lessons promote positive attitudes towards physical activity. Children are taught the importance of perseverance, fair play and respect for others, as well as how to evaluate and improve their own performance. Opportunities for competition are planned appropriately, helping pupils to develop resilience, confidence and a sense of achievement.

Our PE curriculum strongly supports our school vision of ‘Preparing for life’s big adventure’. By promoting physical wellbeing, teamwork and self belief, PE helps pupils to overcome challenges and develop habits that support long term health and wellbeing. Through active participation and enjoyment of physical activity, children are encouraged to develop a positive relationship with exercise that will benefit them beyond their time at primary school.
