Children have the opportunity to participate in swimming lessons for half a year in Year 5.

Physical Education (PE)

Sporting excellence, action and enjoyment for all.

We believe our high-quality physical education curriculum inspires all pupils to succeed in sport and encourages our children to become physically confident while developing their health and fitness. We give all pupils the opportunity to compete in sport and physical activity to develop character and instill values of fairness and respect. We believe all children can succeed and aim to develop this belief in every child by encouraging physical activity both within and outside of school.

PE is taught weekly by different specialist teachers in swimming, gymnastics, ballet, dance and multi-sports. Our curriculum is designed to nurture children’s love of being active, developing their skills in a wide range of sports.

Sporting Excellence

Our school values underpin sporting excellence and all children will have the opportunity to show kindness, aspiration and perseverance while representing the school. We enter two teams in every event: One team is for our most experience sportspeople and the other team’s aim is to increase participation and experience.

Action

All children in EYFS are physically active for at least 180 minutes a day as a part of our balance curriculum. This includes specialist PE teaching as well as the continuous learning provision during the school day. Children in KS1 and KS2 receive two hours of PE every week.

Enjoyment

For All

Inclusion is at the heart of what we stand for. We work will all children so they can enjoy winning well, accept losing better and show respect to all other members of the team/class. Working as a team or working to improve individually are skills that are threaded through our entire curriculum.
