IMPACT of our PE Curriculum:
We aim for our teaching of PE to have a great impact on the lives of our children not only through the development of the whole child physically and socially, but also in laying the foundations for social mobility through the promotion of British Values as well as getting them ready for the next stages of their education.
Readiness for Next Stage of Education: How does this subject prepare our children for the next stage of their educational journey at secondary school & beyond?
We endeavour to ensure that the sequence of content enables our children to progress whilst they are with us, but also to provide the building blocks necessary to build on at secondary school and their learning journey beyond. Underlying all of this is our emphasis on Leaning Culture which provides the underlying principles of attitude, resilience and character.
Promotion of Social Mobility: How does this subject promote social mobility?
Our aim is that no child is disadvantaged by their background situation and that, as a school, we provide everything that a child needs so that there is no cumulative dysfluency or gaps in learning. As a result, we ensure that children have a broad range of PE experiences, high quality equipment, opportunities to listen to professional athletes plus our curriculum is designed in order to boost their mental as well as their physical well-being.
Promotion of British Values & SMSC: How does this subject promote British Values & SMSC?
Through our rich and varied PE curriculum, we ensure that our children are well equipped for life in modern Britain and, through subject linkage have an excellent understanding of health and fitness as well as Democracy, the Rule of Law, Responsibility & Liberty, Mutual Respect plus Tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs. Our Curriculum is driven by SMSC Development and, as a result, pupils thrive – enjoying their lives, learning and want to make a difference for others.
