PE & Sports

Any queries regarding P.E. email [email protected] 

Physical Education or PE holds high value in our school as part of acquiring positive attitudes and traits and in developing skills and competence.

Through the range of experiences (lessons, clubs and competitive opportunities) that our PE curriculum offers, our aim is for children to:

• develop a wide range of skills and the ability to use tactics, strategies and compositional ideas to perform successfully;
• think about what they are doing,  analyse the situation and make decisions when they are performing;
• reflect on their own and others’ performances and find ways to improve upon them;
• develop the confidence to take part in different physical activities and learn about the value of healthy, active lifestyles;
• make informed choices about lifelong physical activity through discovering what they like to, what their aptitudes are at school;
• develop personally and socially by working in PE as individuals, in groups and in teams;
• take on different roles and responsibilities, including leadership, coaching and officiating;
• learn how to be effective in competitive, creative and challenging situations.

Our aims are to:

• encourage a healthy and active lifestyle for all children;
• nurture sportpersonship in all aspects of competition;
• widen each child’s sporting experience and enjoyment;
• create a passion for active recreation and sport;
• assist children in reaching their physical potential in a variety of sporting environments.

It is recommended from the UK Chief Medical Officer that chidlren are active for 60 minutes a day. This should include 30 minutes in school, and 30 minutes outside of school. Here are some activities that can help you achieve this at your school. Some are activity breaks, some are learning activities.
