School PE Lead: Mrs S. Hall

​

​Our Vision and Intent

At our school, we believe that Physical Education plays a vital role in

supporting pupils’ physical health, emotional wellbeing and personal

development.

 

As a Christian school, we also recognise PE as an opportunity to develop

values such as  respect, collaboration, perseverance and integrity, helping

pupils understand the importance of caring for their bodies and supporting one another

in a community setting.

​

Through PE, we aim to inspire all children to enjoy being active, develop confidence in movement,

and understand the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. 

​

Through our PE curriculum, we aim for pupils to:

• Develop fundamental movement skills such as balance, agility, coordination and control.

• Apply these skills across a wide range of sports and physical activities.

• Understand teamwork, cooperation and fair play, reflecting respect for others.

• Build resilience, determination and confidence.

• Experience enjoyment in physical activity and develop positive attitudes towards lifelong participation in                                                   sport and exercise.

​

Through these experiences, pupils are supported to grow physically, socially and spiritually, developing the confidence, perseverance and collaborative skills that prepare them to flourish in their futures.

 

Implementation

PE lessons follow the structured format provided by the Complete PE scheme.

 

Lessons typically include:

• A warm-up activity designed to prepare the body for exercise.

• Skill development activities where pupils learn and practise key techniques.

• Opportunities to apply skills in games or physical challenges.

• Time for reflection and feedback to support improvement.

• A cool-down to support recovery and wellbeing.

​

Lessons are active, inclusive and designed to maximise participation, allowing pupils to practise skills repeatedly while developing confidence and enjoyment in physical activity.

​

Curriculum Progression and Organisation

Our PE curriculum is organised using the Complete PE scheme and mapped across a two-year rolling programme to ensure clear progression in mixed-age classes.

 

Across the two-year cycle, pupils take part in a wide variety of physical activities including:

• Invasion games (such as football, basketball or hockey) where pupils develop attacking and defending strategies.

• Net and wall games (such as tennis or badminton) where pupils learn to control and place the ball or shuttlecock.

• Striking and fielding games (such as cricket or rounders) which develop batting, bowling and fielding skills.

• Gymnastics, focusing on balance, strength, flexibility and movement sequences.

• Dance, encouraging creativity, rhythm and expressive movement.

• Athletics, where pupils practise running, jumping and throwing.

• Outdoor Adventurous Activities (OAA), which develop teamwork, communication and problem-solving skills.

​

Skills are introduced in manageable steps and revisited in different contexts so that pupils can refine, apply and improve their performance over time.

 

Adaptations

Teaching within PE is inclusive and adapted to ensure that all pupils can participate and succeed.

 

Adaptations may include:

• Modifying equipment, space or rules to ensure activities are accessible.

• Providing demonstrations and visual modelling of key skills.

• Offering different levels of challenge within activities.

• Encouraging peer support and teamwork.

• Providing additional guidance or scaffolding where required.

​

Teachers use observation and ongoing assessment to adapt lessons and ensure that all pupils are supported and challenged appropriately.

Impact

The impact of our PE curriculum is seen in pupils who are active, engaged and enthusiastic about physical activity. Children develop increasing confidence in their physical abilities and demonstrate a willingness to participate and improve.

​

Pupils show:

• Improved fundamental movement skills and physical coordination.

• The ability to apply skills across a variety of sports and activities.

• An understanding of teamwork, sportsmanship and respect for others.

• Growing resilience and determination when faced with physical challenges.

• Positive attitudes towards staying active and healthy.

​

Through the structured progression within the Complete PE scheme and our two-year curriculum cycle, pupils leave our school with the physical skills, confidence and motivation needed to continue participating in sport and physical activity throughout their lives.
