PHYSICAL EDUCATION STATEMENT
VISION
Our school aims to inspire all children to develop a love of physical activity and sport. Through high-quality physical education, whole school values and a whole child approach, we aim to nurture confident, resilient children who will strive for their personal best. We listen to our children wants and needs and provide them with a range of active experiences and clubs. We want to aid our children in obtaining the values and skills to celebrate and respect the success of others, as well as modestly celebrating their own successes. We aim to ensure that our delivery of physical education allows all children to have the skills and mindset to leave primary school with the capabilities to be successful in their sporting challenges and active lifestyles at secondary school and beyond. We strive to educate both our children and families to develop a greater understanding on how to live healthy lifestyles and make healthy choices. We are dedicated to ensuring healthy minds, as well as bodies and will continue to support our children's well-being. We have strong links with local clubs and partnerships within our community to ensure the children and families receive the support and knowledge they need.
INTENT
Physical Education at Burghfield St. Mary's is well-established with high-quality lesson delivery by class teachers leading an engaging, ambitious, relevant and progressive P.E. curriculum.
We adopt a sports-led approach to teaching skills in P.E. lessons, ensuring that our children develop the necessary P.E. skills to be confident in secondary school and beyond, in the hope that our children become lifelong participators in physical activity. To achieve this we offer a wide range of physical activity taught through games, gymnastics, athletics, dance, OAA and swimming.
IMPLEMENTATION
All pupils receive two hours of high-quality physical education per week taught by their teacher. Class teachers are supported through twilight CPD sessions and in-class CPD run by the P.E. Co-ordinator and external coaches.
Our class teachers follow the 'Get Set 4 PE' scheme for our Games, Dance and Gymnastics lesson planning. These are supplemented by units from 'Run, Jump, Throw', 'Twinkl', 'Quicksticks', 'Bee Netball' and 'LTA Schools Tennis'.
IMPACT
During a P.E. lesson, pupils will have fun, be enthusiastic and enjoy the tasks, in order to develop fundamental skills which can then be applied when playing specific sports or transfer them to other lessons. We use immediate verbal feedback to allow pupils the opportunity to amend and develop their skills immediately within the lesson. The assessment milestones for each skill-progression have been carefully mapped out and further broken down for each year group by Get Set 4 PE. This means that skills in P.E. are progressive and build year-on-year. Through this, pupils develop a breadth and depth of knowledge of the sports and fundamental skills required to develop balanced, healthy and active lives.
