Intent

The PE curriculum is based on the mastery and application of fundamental movement skills. Five are focussed on during EYFS (running, jumping, hopping, catching and throwing) building to ten during Key Stage 1 (Throwing underarm, hopping, catching and bouncing a ball, running and overarm throw, jumping and skipping, rolling a ball and kicking).

These fundamental movement skills are then applied and further developed during Key stage 2 in sport-specific units for games and in ever increasingly complex scenarios in dance, athletics and gymnastics.

The intent behind our PE curriculum is to provide opportunities for our children to experience, enjoy and excel in high quality PE and school sport, incorporating a diverse range of motivational activities which offer life-long learning and a healthy lifestyle through challenge and competition, allowing the pupils to be the BEST they can be.

Implementation

We use the Lancashire PE scheme as the basis for our PE curriculum. Two hours of quality PE are taught every week, with PE being assessed at the end of each unit of work. The school follows a curriculum map and this has been designed to be cumulative and coherent, building on skills that the pupils have previously acquired. Lessons are adapted for pupils with SEND so that every pupil has an equal chance to be successful.

The school engages with local competitions so that pupils get the opportunity to take part in inter-school competitions.

PE Premium funding is used to support the delivery of the PE curriculum and enhance the sporting opportunities we deliver.
