Aiming High

PE

Intent

 ‘Intelligence and skills can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong.’-  John F Kennedy

We  aim to provide a safe and supportive environment for all children to enjoy and participate in a broad range of physical activities where they will be encouraged to show respect, honesty, determination, passion, self-belief and teamwork. The teaching and learning in PE, sport and physical activities will support the physical, emotional, spiritual, social and moral development of the child.

Implementation

Our PE curriculum is taught:

By providing challenging and enjoyable learning through a range of sporting activities including; invasion games, net & wall activities, striking and fielding events, gymnastics, dance, OAA and swimming.

Ensuring the requirements of the National Curriculum and EYFS Framework are met following our long-term PE curriculum overview which sets out the units to be taught throughout the year, ensuring lessons are progressive.

By delivering two high quality PE lessons each week, covering two sporting disciplines every half term. In addition, children take part in a ‘Wake and Shake’ session to prepare them for learning every morning and they are encouraged to participate in the varied range of extra-curricular activities available after school.

By a qualified PE specialist for each class one lesson per week.

In addition:

We have an annual sports morning (split into EYFS/KS1 and KS2) with the emphasis on participation and achievement for all.

Children in Year 6 will attend termly swimming sessions. 

We offer a residential experience for children in Year 4 and Year 6. 

As Bader Primary School is supported by the Stockton Schools partnership from EYFS to Year 6 we have the opportunity to participate in a variety of Healthy Active Lifestyle festivals as well as School Games events held across the town, which introduce a more competitive element into sporting activities. 

Impact

At Bader Primary School, through the teaching of PE children will be inspired to be active and enjoy PE in line with our school vision. The children will show good sporting behaviour and encourage each other to aim high in a safe and

supportive environment. Children will have taken part in a range of different physical activities to develop their physical,

emotional, spiritual, social and moral development.

This will be evidenced by:

  • Pupil voice
  • Observations of pupils demonstrating skills and knowledge during lessons.
