Our vision for physical education and sport:

We aim to develop skills progressively so that children may achieve their potential, individually and as part of a team.

We offer a variety of activities in this area - including sports such as athletics, cricket, football, hockey, netball, rugby and swimming - according to the age of the child.  

We are fortunate to have extensive playground and playing field to enable us to pursue these activities.  Many are practised at lunch times and after school as well as during physical education lessons.   Our sporting teams successfully compete against other local schools.

In the event of minor illness or injury, parents/guardians may wish their child to be excused from a particular lesson.   In such a case a signed letter to this effect must be provided. It may be necessary to request a doctor’s letter if there is a series of such requests.

Our approach to physical education and sport:

 

Our PE Curriculum is high quality, well thought out and is planned to demonstrate progression across the different year groups. If children are keeping up with the curriculum, they are deemed to be making good or better progress. Within lessons, there are opportunities for formative assessment that is ongoing throughout each lesson. It judges progress and enables the teacher to make flexible adaptations to their planned teaching. Through ongoing assessment, tasks are matched to the ability of each child through differentiated activities and adult support, thus providing a level of challenge that is stimulating for pupils.


In addition, we measure the impact of our curriculum through the following methods:

  • A reflection on standards achieved against the planned outcomes;
  • A celebration of learning for each term which demonstrates progression across the school;
  • Pupil discussions about their learning;
  • The annual tracking of standards across the curriculum;
  • Assessments of pupils' achievements against the National Curriculum.
