We believe physical education has a vital role in our lives and therefore, a positive attitude towards the subject is essential for success. We aim for all our children to develop an interest in and a zeal for sportsmanship. We will create a safe learning environment where children have time to consolidate their learning and recap key skills. Our members of staff will feel confident to embed rich and specific terminology and nurture resilience and inquisitiveness, in order to help children, become creative problem solvers who have high levels of participation and self-efficacy.

During Key Stage 1, pupils build on their natural enthusiasm for movement, using it to explore and learn about their world. They start to work and play with other pupils in pairs and small groups. By watching, listening and experimenting, they develop their skills in movement and coordination, and enjoy expressing and testing themselves in a variety of situations.

During Key Stage 2, pupils enjoy being active and using their creativity and imagination in physical activity. They learn new skills, find out how to use them in different ways, and link them to make actions, phrases and sequences of movement. They enjoy communicating, collaborating and competing with each other. They develop an understanding of how to succeed in different activities and learn how to evaluate and recognise their own success.
