Physical Education

Intent

At our school, Physical Education aims to inspire all pupils to lead active, healthy, and balanced lives. We want every child to develop physical competence, confidence, and a positive attitude towards movement and wellbeing. Our intent is to ensure pupils experience enjoyment, challenge, and success in PE, while understanding the importance of teamwork, respect, and perseverance both in sport and everyday life.

Implementation

Our scheme of work provides a progressive and engaging curriculum from Early Years to Year 6. Lessons are carefully sequenced to build on prior knowledge and develop a broad range of skills across invasion games, gymnastics, dance, athletics, outdoor and adventurous activities.

Each unit focuses on key physical, social, and emotional skills, helping children to understand how exercise supports both body and mind. PE lessons are inclusive, active, and differentiated to ensure all pupils can achieve and make progress. Opportunities for intra- and inter-school competitions further enhance engagement and sportsmanship.

Impact

By the end of primary school, pupils develop fundamental movement skills and a strong foundation in PE. They are confident to participate in a range of physical activities and understand the value of leading an active lifestyle. Our approach to PE ensures children not only improve their fitness and coordination but also their teamwork, communication, and self-belief. As a result, our pupils leave primary school motivated to continue engaging in physical activity and with a lifelong appreciation for health, wellbeing, and sport.
