PE

Our intent:

Physical Education plays an important part in developing physically-confident, healthy pupils. All children will be provided with a curriculum which:

  • promotes the love of physical education and sport.
  • exposes them to a range of different sports and games
  • allows access to opportunities to represent the school in inter school competition in a broad range of activities
  • allows pupils to be active for sustained periods of time

 

We aim for pupils to:

  • enjoy PE and sport and embed the characteristics of sportsmanship
  • develop resilience through competitive sport and high demand activities
  • lead healthy and active lifestyles
  • explain and use vocabulary confidently throughout the Physical Education curriculum and beyond
