Physical Education
At St Peter’s, we recognise the importance that physical education has within our school. We aim to ensure every child can be active throughout the school day across as many subjects as possible. We strive to create a culture which educates and inspires an active generation who enjoy physical education and sports.
At St Peter’s we understand the value physical activity, sport and activities has on children’s general health, fitness and mental wellbeing. We endeavour to provide enjoyable, challenging, and accessible P.E lessons which develop our students physical, social and emotional skills whilst promoting Christian values.
Children will participate in competitive sport and through this we will team children to cooperate and collaborate effectively as a team and compete respectfully against others promoting key sporting principles of fairness, sportsmanship and respect.
We offer a safe and supportive environment for children to develop physical competency, build confidence and secure the foundations for a lifelong love of sport and physical activity to lead a balanced, healthy lifestyle.
Intent
At St Peter’s our intent is to give every child the opportunity to be active in a broad and balanced physical education curriculum. Our curriculum will focus of improving their physical, social and emotional wellbeing through a range of engaging sports and physical activities. We want our children’s experience of P.E to be positive and motivating which will support their health, wellbeing and fitness to provide the foundations for life long activity.
Implementation
Our lessons are designed to achieve whole child objectives through a wide range of sports, beyond the classic P.E sports and activities, covering; invasion games, net and wall games, strike and fielding games, gymnastics, dance, outdoor and adventure activities and swimming.
The children start their journey in reception where they participate in formal P.E sessions, TennisWhizz sessions and Socatots sessions which continues into their continuous provision. Across key stage 1 and key stage 2 students are active for at least 2 hours per week via high quality P.E, activities such as maths on the move, Jump Start Jonny energy breaks and termly enrichment opportunities. St Peter’s staff use the P.E Passport to document the progress of each student through the skills progression ladder which shows their journey from EYFS to Year 6.
Children are also given the opportunity to attend before school sports club, after school sports clubs and students are proud to represent our school across a broad range of interschool sports competitions ran by the Burntwood and Lichfield schools games organiser.
Impact
Our curriculum is designed to ensure P.E is inclusive to all abilities and develops the fundamental knowledge, understanding, skills and techniques needed to tackle sport specific and activity problems.
Teachers are able to review the progressions of students and skills through the P.E Passport and children enjoy reflecting on their performances on the media evidence on the platform.
All children have the opportunity to develop their skills further in extra-curricular activities or showcase their skills at intra or inter sports competitions.
Children will become more confident independent and understand how their actions can benefit a team. They will become more resilient when tackling new challenges or skills and relish the opportunities that are put in front of them.
