Physical Education

INTENT

At English Martrys’ Primary School, Physical Education (PE) is an integral part of the curriculum. We understand the importance of PE and the impact on our children’s wellbeing, fitness and general health. Our PE curriculum is taught to include and engage all pupils.

Children are encouraged to engage in carefully crafted broad activities with the aim of developing their skills and their understanding of the importance of being physically active. Through quality first teaching, we aim to provide learning opportunities that enable children to be resilient through our range of sporting activities and competitive sports. We intend on teaching our children how to cooperate and collaborate with others.

Our PE lessons are structured to inspire all pupils to succeed and excel. PE at English Martrys’ Primary School provides children the opportunity to develop their abilities to swim. We acknowledge the importance of this life skill and we aspire for all children to leave primary school being able to confidently swim at least 25 metres.

IMPLEMENTATION

PE at English Martrys’ Primary School ensures that all children participate in one PE session each week. The PE sessions are taught using coaches and staff members. Each taught session is innovative, fun and inclusive. We use and adapt lesson plans from London PE and School Sports Network Partnership. The planning scheme provides a strong foundation of what is expected in each year group.

The curriculum provides a range of sporting activities including; swimming, gymnastics, dance, outdoor and adventure, invasion games, net and wall games, strike and field games etc. Children have the opportunity to participate in a wide range of After School Clubs to develop their skills. Many of our children are active members of sports clubs and activities provided by London PE and School Sports Network Partnership. Through this partnership, children can access competitions with other schools.

Both Year 3 and 4 pupils are offered attend weekly swimming lessons with the aim that by the end of Year 4 many of our pupils are able to swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres. Children are given the opportunity to receive swimming top-up sessions to develop their confidence.

IMPACT

At English Martyrs’ Primary School, we believe that all pupils should reach the performance levels of which they are capable. We measure the effectiveness and progress of our PE curriculum through learning walks and pupil questionnaires.

Our curriculum promotes self-discipline, develop competence and improve sporting attitudes. There’s the willingness in all children to eagerly participate in every lesson. We provide opportunities for children to become physically confident in a safe environment.

Children at English Martrys’ Primary School, make good progress as suitable learning opportunities are provided for all pupils to be successful.
