Intent
The intent of our PE curriculum is to deliver a curriculum which is accessible to all and that will maximise the development of every child’s ability and achievement. They should participate in, learn about and understand how to use and apply their knowledge to impact upon their own physical activity, participation and healthy lifestyle.
Our high quality PE curriculum will develop physical literacy and will allow children to learn about themselves, the importance of self-expression and concepts such as fair play and respect. It also contributes to the development of a range of important cognitive skills such as decision making and analysis, and social skills such as teamwork and communication. They understand the barriers to participation and work to overcome these for themselves and others.
Our PE curriculum is inclusive and ensures that children of all abilities can access the range of activities we offer and that they are physically active for sustained periods of time in order to encourage them to lead healthy, active lives. There are also be opportunities for children to take on leadership and coaching roles in which they can build character and embed values such as fairness and respect.
Implementation
Every child receives two hours of PE a week. During the weekly P.E. sessions all children participate in a range of physical activities developing and practising skills and the application of the those skills in a range of areas including: gymnastics, dance, games, athletics, outdoor activities and swimming (at KS2).
We have a range of extracurricular P.E. clubs and opportunities for both intra-school and inter-school competitions through the Telford & Wrekin Schools Game Partnership. These opportunities allow for the further development of the skills and values that we strive to embed in the children through our curriculum design and delivery.
The national curriculum for physical education aims to ensure that all pupils:
- develop competence to excel in a broad range of physical activities
- are physically active for sustained periods of time
- engage in competitive sports and activities
Impact
Tibberton children are provided with a well sequenced PE curriculum that allows them to learn and develop basis skills and then use these within a variety of different sports.
The opportunity to access Physical Education, School Sports and Physical Activity ensure that our children will grow up to make lifelong healthy active choices to support their physical and mental health.
The high quality PE curriculum inspires the children to experience a multitude of experiences and encourages them to foster a hobby or interest that they can then develop further in with an outside agency. We provide these opportunities both within the classroom and outside for children to become physically confident to support their health and fitness.
