Physical DEVELOPMENT
Curriculum Intent
It is important first of all to distinguish between Physical Education, Physical Activity and Sport. Physical Education, Physical Activity and Sport are key to our school day. Physical Education (PE) lessons are taught as part of the National Curriculum. Physical activity is encouraged outside of PE lessons, throughout the school day, but also include before school and after school opportunities. We take part in sport competitions as well. As part our English and maths curriculum we use Teach Active which provides planning support to ensure that other subjects are kept as active as possible.
It is our aim that pupils become:
Confident ~ in their own movement patterns and physical knowledge and ability.
Valued ~ in understanding the importance of movement for wellbeing and brain development.
Prepared ~ through developing motor competence, understanding of rules, strategies and tactics, as well as healthy participation for everyday living, PE and sport.
Successful ~ develop the skills they need to be successful in their movement and participation in sport.
The intent of our PE curriculum is that all pupils will develop a secure understanding of physical literacy that will support their physical development, balance, fitness and co-ordination. It is intended, through our curriculum, that they will become equipped with skills, which will support their ability to take part in movement and sport. Our curriculum, along with the science curriculum, also develops and supports their knowledge of the importance of fitness, health and physical activity. We use a range of sports coaches as specialists to enhance our curriculum offer. Our coaches team teach with our teachers, therefore providing consistent professional development.
