Physical Education (PE)
Intent:
- Establish fundamental movement skills and ball skills in the early years to provide the foundations for more complex physical activities.
- Teach learners the rules, strategies and decision-making processes required across various disciplines.
- Foster habits and confidence that support healthy, active lifestyles long after learners leave our school, aligning with our broader school ethos.
- Provide a broad, balanced and inclusive experience that allows all learners to succeed regardless of their starting point.
Implementation:
- The National Curriculum for art and design is taught to all year groups; We follow Get Set 4 PE Primary scheme of learning.
- A clear progression in knowledge, skills and vocabulary is taught throughout the school to ensure coverage is met; the sequence builds on skills and progression is clear throughout.
- Sequencing of units and lessons allows for learners to connect previously taught knowledge from across the curriculum to new learning in order to help make connections and understand new learning.
- Retrieval lessons and starters are used to activate previously taught knowledge in order to consolidate prior learning and make synoptic links between topics; they are also used as an assessment strategy.
- Key vocabulary is shared and discussed at the start of each unit and then revisited in future lessons.
- Teachers assess and adapt learning for all groups of learners, specifically providing support and challenge for learners with SEND and those who are Disadvantaged.
- Learning Questions stimulate learners' curiosity and independence.
- All learners have the opportunity to participate in a range of extra-curricular sports after school.
- Investing in the School Sports Partnership to allow all learners to participate in competitions with local schools.
- Opportunities are planned for sporting professionals to visit the learners and inspire them by sharing their achievements.
