Physical Education
We follow the National Curriculum for Physical Education 2014
The National Curriculum aims to ensure that all pupils:
- develop competence to excel in a broad range of physical activities
- are physically active for sustained periods of time
- engage in competitive sports and activities
- lead healthy, active lives.
At Key Stage 1 the National Curriculum sets out a programme of study for games, gymnastic activities and dance. At Key Stage 2 six areas of activity are taught: games, gymnastics, dance, athletics, outdoor education and swimming.
Our objectives in PE are to develop physical skills, co-ordination and self-awareness; to give experience of competitive teamwork and to encourage lasting habits for healthy recreational enjoyment. Our PE curriculum is broad, covering each area of activity comprehensively, and is well supported by extra-curricular activities. We also use the nearby Port Regis School sports facilities to enhance our curriculum.
