Curriculum Implementation
Pupils participate in a minimum of one PE session a week. This session incorporates a variety of physical skills which underpin the fundamentals of sport and are designed to develop children’s physical literacy. These skills can then be applied across a range of sports and used in a variety of contexts. Progression is carefully planned for. This scheme of work also provides children with the opportunity to develop key abilities to be successful not only in PE but across the whole school curriculum. Pupils are encouraged to apply what they have learnt in PE during play and lunch times and beyond school.
Children in years 3, 4, 5 and 6 take part in a terms worth of swimming each academic year. Children not reaching the expected standard have additional swimming sessions to enable them to develop their swimming and water safety skills. Swimming lessons take place at the cluster High School.
We recognise the importance of competition and our children get the opportunity to take part in frequent inter and intra competitions with schools in our cluster. Regular afterschool clubs allow children the opportunity to take part in extra-curricular activities.
We provide additional sport opportunities from outside organisations. This provides sport specialist coaching to our pupils and helps to further develop competitive sport opportunities and feeds in to the development of a healthy, active lifestyle.
