We are currently developing our curriculum to make it even better and therefore this page is in the process of being updated to match our practice.

PROGRAMME OF STUDY – PE/GAMES

AIMS
  • Inspire all pupils to succeed and excel in a broad range of competitive sports and other physically demanding activities
  • Provide opportunities for children to be physically confident, leading to a healthy and active lifestyle
  • Provide opportunities for sustained physical activity, in order to improve general fitness
  • Develop an understanding of how to improve performance, and of how to evaluate and recognise success
  • Encourage children to recognise the value of collaboration and teamwork
  • Embed values of fairness and respect
CURRICULUM ORGANISATION

Children receive two lessons of PE per week. These are timetabled as Indoor PE and Outdoor Games.

Units of work are set out in the PE/Games curriculum grid.  We use the non-statutory guidance to assist us in our planning

 

SKILLS AND TECHNIQUES

Pupils are taught to:

  • Use running, jumping, throwing and catching in isolation and in combination
  • Apply the basic principles of attacking and defending in competitive games (for example, football, netball, basketball, tennis).
  • Develop flexibility, strength, control and balance (for example, through athletics and gymnastics).
  • Perform dances using a range of movement patterns
  • Take part in outdoor and adventurous activity challenges, both individually and within a team
  • Compare their performances with previous ones and demonstrate improvement to achieve their personal best
  • Swim confidently and competently over a distance of at least 25 metres
  • Use a range of swimming strokes effectively
  • Perform safe self-rescue in different water based situations
PROVISION FOR MORE AND MOST ABLE CHILDREN

We plan a variety of opportunities to extend, enrich and enhance the learning of our more and most able children, so that they achieve to the best of their ability and make the best possible progress.
