PE Curriculum Intent
Our aim for PE is to develop independent skills and self-belief in ability. Through P.E. children can develop competence and confidence in a range of physical skills including dance, games, gymnastics and athletics. Children are encouraged to understand healthy life style choices and how exercise supports this. Through individual, group and team activities children will develop empathy for teamwork and cooperation, alongside experiencing elements of competition. Children will be challenged to reach their full potential through a balanced programme of high- quality teaching that follows National Curriculum guidance. We will work in partnership with community, our local School Sport and Activity network (SSPAN) and professional P.E. providers to implement an inspirational and inclusive P.E. curriculum.
Resilience: Through problem-solving challenges to learning new skills in different sports, we encourage and challenge our children to not give up and to push themselves.
Respect: This plays a huge part in all our PE lessons and sport in general. We instil good sportsmanship qualities and have high expectations of teamwork and showing respect to others that may have done better in a game for example. This is especially the case when taking part in external competitions.
Responsibility: Our children have many opportunities to demonstrate responsibility, whether that is as a sports leader, leading a warm-up for others or listening to and abiding by rules of a game to ensure everybody plays safely.
The impact of our PE curriculum is to ensure that children understand and have developed knowledge of the value of physical activity and exercise on their health and wellbeing, and have been encouraged to increase their fitness levels. They have experienced and enjoyed a range of physical skills and have developed empathy for teamwork and cooperation. Children have knowledge and understanding of the rules and their importance in competition. The P.E. curriculum has allowed all children to progress in a wide range of skills and abilities with increased independence and ownership. As a result, children are challenged through high quality, inclusive and progressive delivery of P.E. Skills and attitudes learnt in P.E. feed into other areas of the school curriculum.
