Physical Education
It is important to distinguish between Physical Education, Physical Activity and Sport. 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. As part our curriculum we also use Teach Active which provides planning support to ensure that other subjects are kept as active as possible. Pupils throughout their time in school will also have opportunities to take part in sport. This may be during the school day or after school. The skills taught through PE lessons are used to take part in various sports.
Curriculum Intent
The intent of our PE curriculum is that all pupils will develop physical skills and knowledge 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 sport. Our curriculum, along with the science curriculum, will also develop and support 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.
