P.E

Physical Education (P.E)

The National Curriculum states that a school’s physical education curriculum should inspire all pupils to succeed and excel in competitive sport and other physically demanding activities. It should support pupil’s health and fitness and help them become physically confident. Taking part in competitive sport and other activities will build their character and embed values such as fairness and respect, not just for their peers but for the wider community.

Aims

The national curriculum for physical education aims to ensure that all children:

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

Intent
It is our intent, at Moss Lane, that children will be provided with high quality PE and sport provision throughout Early Years and Key Stage 1. By the end of Key Stage 1, children at Moss Lane should have experienced a wide variety of sports and physical skills which will enhance life-long fitness and life choices. We encourage the children to become respectful, confident, courageous and resilient young people that strive to become the best they can be. We will encourage the children to develop a broad range of skills, knowledge and capabilities to help them in their future with their physical, mental, emotional and social wellbeing. We will do this through promoting self-esteem and teaching children how to cope with both success and failure in competitive, individual and tem based activities.

Implement

At Moss Lane:

To ensure high standards of teaching and learning in P.E, we follow the Real P.E scheme of work, ensuring it covers all the fundamental skills and knowledge required by the National Curriculum. Skills and knowledge are developed year upon year and arranged to maximise learning for all children.
PE is also taught by an external provider who follow their own progressive scheme of work.
PE is taught by a combination of class teachers and qualified coaches, which means that Moss Lane is able to deliver a broad curriculum and the children are able to experience a wider range of sports, such as Badminton.
Children at Moss Lane are encouraged to exercise throughout the day, during PE lessons, clubs, wake and shake and during play and lunchtimes.
Lunchtime supervisors have had training in developing purposeful physical activity during play times.
There are a wide range of after school cubs available to all children, this includes multi-skill, football and dance etc. These clubs are all delivered by qualified coaches.
