Physical Education (PE)
“Physically educated persons are those who have learned to arrange their lives
in such a way that the habitual physical activities they freely
engage in make a distinctive contribution to their wider flourishing”
James MacAllister
We teach PE to equip our pupils with the necessary skills and knowledge to lead healthy, active lives and engage in physical activities with confidence and enjoyment. Our intent is to instil a love for sport and physical activity in our pupils, promoting lifelong participation and overall wellbeing. It is our intent that our curriculum supports our children promoting physical and mental wellbeing, fostering resilience, and encouraging teamwork among our pupils.
Aims of subject
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 (in school, afterschool clubs and encouraged with club links out of school) to learn resilience and perseverance, as well as winning gracefully
- enjoy and lead healthy, active lives, understanding the benefits for later life
- develop and understanding of the positive impact that being physically active can have on your mental health
