Every child is entitled to High Quality PE which includes the development of the physical, cognitive, social and emotional elements of learning while meeting the aims of the national curriculum.
We want our children to complete their primary school Physical Education journeys fitter and healthier, with a passion for being physically active. We want our children to be confident to take on new challenges, understand how to apply skills in a range of activities and be inspired to want to succeed in sport, whatever sport that may be.
By teaching a broad spectrum of sports at KS2, we hope that all children find something that brings them joy in order to join external clubs, develop a life-long love of sport and inspires them to lead active healthy lifestyles at secondary school and beyond. Through PE and Sport, we want all our Y6 children to hone their leadership skills and contribute to the life of the school.
High quality PE has been shown to: contribute to children’s confidence, self-esteem and self-worth; enhance social development by helping children to co-operate and compete and to develop a sense of fairness, justice and respect; reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression; benefit cognitive function and academic achievement; and encourage school attendance and engagement (Harris & Cale, 2018; ICSSPE, 2010).
A high quality physical education curriculum can, therefore, enhance children’s spiritual, moral, social and cultural development and make a significant contribution to the promotion of fundamental British values (e.g. democracy, respect and tolerance) and the development of essential life skills (e.g. resilience, communication and responsibility), all of which add to the quality of life and maximise employability.
