Intent

Our vision for Physical Education is to inspire every child to become physically confident, knowledgeable and active, developing the skills, understanding and positive attitudes needed to lead healthy, active lives beyond primary school.

Our progressive PE curriculum develops physical competence, knowledge and understanding through a broad range of individual, partner and team activities. Children learn to perform, refine and apply skills, develop tactics and strategies, and understand the principles of movement, fitness and healthy lifestyles. Progression is carefully mapped from EYFS to Year 6, supported by Get Set for PE to ensure consistency in planning, assessment and expectations.

We provide rich opportunities to be active, compete and perform, both within and beyond lessons. Daily Dash, lunchtime activities, NSSports clubs, team training, BET and WASPs competitions, sports day and wider sporting experiences enable children to develop confidence, resilience, teamwork, determination, fairness and respect.

We believe PE should be inclusive and accessible to all, allowing every child to participate, achieve and experience success. Through specialist coaching, dance, gymnastics and partnerships with external organisations, children are introduced to a diverse range of activities and opportunities.

Ultimately, we aim to develop physically literate children who value movement, enjoy being active and have the knowledge, skills and confidence to make healthy choices and participate in physical activity, sport and competition throughout their lives.
