PE

Intent

A high-quality physical education curriculum inspires all pupils to succeed and excel in competitive sport and other physically demanding activities. It should provide opportunities for pupils to become physically confident in a way which supports their health and fitness. Opportunities to compete in sport and other activities build character and help to embed values such as fairness and respect.

The National Curriculum for physical education aims to ensure that all pupils:

• develop competence to excel in a broad range of physical activities
• are physically active for sustained periods of time
• engage in competitive sports and activities
• lead healthy, active lives

Implementation

At All Saints, we follow the Get Set 4 PE schemes of work which are fully aligned to the National Curriculum and Ofsted requirements and focus on the development of agility, balance and coordination, healthy competition and cooperative learning. Each unit of work has a different skills focus to develop the key abilities necessary for success in PE and sport and across the curriculum.

PE will be delivered by teachers and a PE specialist consistently for at least 2 hours per week for all children. Children will experience a wide range of skills based and sport specific learning across the course of the academic year.

Teachers have high expectations of pupils and offer appropriate levels of support and challenge to ensure that every pupil is able to succeed and that every pupil is stretched in each PE session.

Impact

By the end of KS2, our pupils will be able to:

• use running, jumping, throwing and catching in isolation and in combination
• play competitive games, modified where appropriate (for example, badminton, basketball, cricket, football, hockey, netball, rounders and tennis) and apply basic principles suitable for attacking and defending
• develop flexibility, strength, technique, control and balance (for example, through athletics and gymnastics)
• perform dances using a range of movement patterns
• take part in outdoor and adventurous activity challenges both individually and within a team
• compare their performances with previous ones and demonstrate improvement to achieve their personal best

Swimming and Water Safety

Pupils will leave All Saints being able to:

• swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres
• use a range of strokes effectively (for example, front crawl, backstroke and breaststroke)
• perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations

In 2024, all of our pupils left school being able to meet the above requirements.
