PE

We recognise that physical activity and sport are essential parts of a child’s everyday life and are key factors in their future well-being. We want every child to find enjoyment in physical activity and aim to provide them with a wide range of opportunities so that they can discover the right kind of activity for themselves and experience the benefits that an active lifestyle can provide. We aim to present them with opportunities to compete against themselves and others, work in partnerships and teams, build self-confidence and perseverance, and experience a real sense of achievement.

What we want children to know is clearly mapped out in our curriculum grids. We believe it is important to provide our children with well-connected skills, as the connections between skills foster understanding and lead to the development of crucial abilities such as problem-solving and critical thinking. Intelligent repetition of content is built into our curriculum, as we recognise that children need to retrieve core skills quickly if they are to use them efficiently.
