Physical Education
We strive in delivering outstanding PE that allows pupils to be physically active, thrive in a broad range of physical activities and engage in competitive sports in a safe and challenging environment.
Intent
Our intent for PE is for children to:
- Thoroughly enjoy being physically active and have the confidence to participate in different sports
- Practise skills in a range of activities and to have the highest of expectations of themselves when performing these individually, in small groups and within a team
- Develop high levels of physical fitness through being active for sustained periods of time
- Understand the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle through regular exercise and healthy nutrition
- Be advocates of PE and confidently talk about their achievements.

- Investing in highly specialist PE teachers to work alongside teachers, ensuring teachers remain up-skilled by providing them with a wealth of fun and innovative teaching ideas
- Providing opportunities for sporting professionals to visit the pupils and inspire them by sharing their achievements
- Providing children with regular swimming lessons
