Focus

Our focus in Physical Education (PE) is to provide every pupil with the opportunity to develop his/her capabilities to the full, which in turn leads to the development of positive attitudes to taking part in physical activity. This has implications on their feelings, attitudes and learning throughout the curriculum and providing the opportunity for cross-curricular work.  Through the medium of PE, children gain knowledge about the body and how it works and responds to exercise.  They learn principles of movement and understand about how and why activity is undertaken.

Aims

PE should involve pupils in the continuous process of planning, performing and evaluating. It should:

• promote physical activity and healthy lifestyles
• develop positive attitudes (such as “fair play”, “honest competition”, “good sporting behaviour ”)
• ensure safe practice

Pupils have two hours of PE timetabled per week through which we develop the fundamental skills of agility, balance and co-ordination. 

In addition children will be given the opportunities to develop their skills in dance, gymnastics, games, athletics as well as swimming in our own pool. 

There is a variety of extra-curricular sports clubs available to all children during, before and after the school day. See our clubs page for up to date information.

We have been working in teams across the Futura Learning Partnership to create a shared curriculum for all schools to use across a range of subjects. The document for PE can be found within this booklet here.

Inter-school competition

As members of BANES School Sport Partnership the children enjoy a wide range of inter-school sports. Over the past year, we have sent teams of pupils to represent the school at boys and girls football, netball, cross-country, cricket and athletics.  In addition, each year group from yr 2-6 enjoy a cluster festival at Wellsway Academy.

We have had a number of individuals go even further and represent at County level in their chosen sport. To read more about our ‘Platinum’ School Games Mark please click here. This is a reward for our commitment to the development of competition across our school and into the community.
