Vision for Physical Education
The rationale for the PE curriculum is to ensure that ALL children receive and participate in physical activity that develops and strengthens their bodies and has a positive impact on a child’s wellbeing. It is used as a vehicle for leadership, team-building, improvement of personal goals and enjoyment of sports. We believe that the subject inspires all pupils to succeed and excel in physically-demanding activities and helps them to become confident in a way which supports their health and fitness throughout their lives. Therefore, we believe that our children should be physically active every day, whether through Daily Physical Activity, P.E. lessons, lunchtimes or extra-curricular activities. We also believe that children should have the opportunity to compete in sport and other activities that build character and help to embed values such as team-work, fairness and respect.
