How do we teach PE?
Class teachers and our PE leads deliver a minimum of two lessons per week. Outdoor learning is a school driver and teachers plan additional active learning and outdoor activity for every project.
Staff draw upon a variety of excellent resources to support the curriculum planning but our main scheme is "Get set 4 PE.". The balance and breadth of the curriculum is overseen by the PE lead and is progressive across the year groups starting in EYFS.
A pupil profile is developed which is updated as assessments and observations occur. The profile includes progress in specific areas but also analysis of the pupils’ movement skills. This is assessed though Get Set 4 PE.
Pupils who exhibit a high level of skill and enjoy competitive activity are encouraged to participate in elite training and sign posted to activities that can support their progression. We are involved in the Roseland Cluster sports events as well as the Aspire Sports activities.
The school has joined "Teach active" to increase the amount of active learning in the curriculum and reduce periods of sedentary learning. the school values outdoor learning and is a "Wild tribe" school. We have invested extensively in our grounds and playground resources to support active playtimes and outdoor adventures.
The school offers many extra curricular activities and clubs. These are well attended through out the year. Pupils learn to swim in year three and four. They learn to sail in year five!
