Entitlement

Children are entitled to high-quality PE lessons. In each year group children participate in gymnastics, games, dance and outdoor and adventurous activities following iPEP Planner. Key Stage 2 children receive swimming lessons provided by BWD Swimming Development Team.

Foundation Stage

Here the lessons are structured so that there is plenty of opportunity for outdoor play experiences. Children also have additional PE sessions, which aim to prepare children for the PE curriculum in KS1.

Curriculum Planning

The areas of physical activity (games, gymnastics, dance, athletics, Striking & Fielding, swimming and outdoor activities) are set out in the Foundation Stage Curriculum and National Curriculum 2014. The time-table and scheme of work is centrally planned by the PE coordinator.

The school follows the progressive schemes of work provided by IPEP Interactive PE Planner. Mr Stretch is our PE teacher in school and he takes overall responsibility for the development of these units to suit the needs of all children and reflect upon its impact. Individual lessons should be evaluated to inform planning and ensure differentiation. These units support and deliver the National Curriculum for Physical Education.

Fundamental movement skills are monitored and assessed termly.  These skills are taught through weekly lessons and built upon through constructive feedback.  Children are encouraged to participate fully in PE by building positive relationships, a broad and balanced curriculum and the use of and various rewards systems. The children experience wide range of activities that enable them to grow and reach their full potential.
