Our PE curriculum is based on the National Curriculum and we will aim to provide PE to pupils from Nursery to Year 6 which will give the children an opportunity to experience a range of activities that will help them learn new skills, develop their health, fitness and wellbeing whilst promoting enjoyment for a love of PE.
Children will be given the opportunity to build character and learn values such as fairness, respect and perseverance. The skills learnt will be paramount for a platform in competitive sport both in and out of school. Children in the Early Years and KS1 will be given the opportunity to practise fundamental movement skills, learning motor patterns that do not occur naturally, which will establish and maintain physically active lives both across a broad range of activities and in the long term. Towards the end of KS1 and the start of KS2 children will be introduced to rules, strategies and tactics of a wide range of activities. The children will learn to value competitiveness but also learn good sportsmanship and know how to play sports with grace and integrity.
Throughout the children’s learning they will be taught skills to keep them safe such as being able to swim. Our curriculum is predominantly based on the National Curriculum for England. However, there are a number of additional aspects which we feel are important so that our children leave primary school as kind, confident, aspirational, respectful and resilient citizens who value diversity and flourish within society.
