PE

PE Intent

Physical Education forms an important part of a child’s education. PE is about pupils’ learning about themselves, their capabilities, their potential and their limitations. It goes beyond the individual and understanding themselves- it’s learning how to work with and to respect others. Physical Education is, by nature, a very practical activity where pupils learn through first-hand experience. In view of this, pupils should be physically active for a substantial amount of all their PE lessons. Physical activity not only improves health, reduces stress and improves concentration but also promotes correct physical growth and development. Exercise has a positive influence on academic achievement, emotional stability and interaction with others. This is why we feel PE is an important subject for all pupils to access through a broad and balanced curriculum and promote a sustainable lifelong interest in sport and physical activity.

It is the ethos of this school that pupils are encouraged for their achievements and that all feedback is as positive as possible.
