Everyone. Everyday. Everlasting.
INTENT
At Everton Primary School, we believe PE is an essential part of our curriculum; we strive to create a culture which inspires an active generation to enjoy PE, encourage each other and achieve. We provide a safe and supportive environment for all children to flourish in a range of different physical activities which helps to support their physical, emotional, spiritual, social and moral development. Our intent is for our Sports Coaches and teachers to deliver the National Curriculum, promoting enthusiasm and curiosity so children have a real thirst for understanding about how to live a healthy lifestyle. Our intent is to provide opportunities for pupils to become both physically confident but also understand the importance of teamwork and respect. Opportunities to compete in sport with independence or as a team will be given, embedding values such as fairness, kindness and respect. We want every child to fulfil their own potential so they can perform with increasing confidence and competence in a range of physical activities. At Everton Primary School, our aim is to deliver a PE curriculum which gives children the confidence to understand the importance of equity and diversity in our world, ensuring they understand the diverse ways sports can be played. We want our children to be ambitious and show resilience to become the best they can be.
IMPLEMENTATION
As we have 4 mixed-age classes at Everton, our PE Curriculum has been designed on a 2-year rolling programme. This is to ensure all the National Curriculum is taught to all our pupils before they leave our school.
Physical Education is a key part of the Early Years Foundation Stage as it is incorporated in every day learning. The physical aspects of the children’s learning relate to the objectives set out in the EYFS Development Matters statements and the Early Learning Goals relating to the area Physical Development.
Throughout Key Stage 1, pupils will develop the fundamental movement skills, to become increasingly confident, extending their agility, balance and coordination. They will engage in competitive physical activities and develop resilience in a range of increasingly challenging situations. They will participate in team games, developing simple tactics for attacking and defending and perform dances with simple movements.
As children move into Key Stage 2, the Key Stage 2 National Curriculum will be followed and the children will be given the opportunity to develop a broader range of skills, developing the ability to use them in different ways. Communication, collaboration and teamwork will be driven throughout our teaching of Physical Education. Children will be taught how to evaluate and recognise their own success, comparing their performances with previous ones and showing resilience and the ambition to improve.
