In PE, we provide engaging and challenging activities that help to inspire children of all different levels to be active and to lead healthy lives. We aim to grow the whole child through our PE curriculum, by focusing on a wide variety of skills and knowledge that will help children to develop: physically, mentally and socially. Pupils develop fundamental movement skills, become increasingly competent and confident and access a broad range of opportunities to extend their agility, balance and coordination, individually and with others. Pupils are be taught to:
• Master basic movements including running, jumping, throwing and catching, as well as developing balance, agility and co-ordination, and begin to apply these in a range of activities
• Participate in team games, developing simple tactics for attacking and defending
• Perform dances using simple movement and patterns
Trained Sports specialist, Liam Dart LJD coaching is employed by the school, to teach high quality to each class for one session a week , following the skills required by the EYFS for Moving and Handling and for the KS1 curriculum. We also offer sports clubs at lunchtime and after school to develop these skills further. The second PE session of the week is delivered by the class teacher. On the days when there is not a lunchtime club open to all children, then the staff lead a running club, a playground games club or a dance club.
EYFS
