PE, experienced in a safe and supportive environment, is a unique and vital contributor to a pupil’s physical development and well-being. Our PE provision strives to be a holistic approach which is meaningful, relevant and inspiring to all our pupils. Through developing pupils' physical literacy skills, we strive to ensure all pupils develop habitual lifelong positive relationships with movement and being active.
A balance of individual, paired and group activities; cooperative, collaborative and competitive situations aim to cater for the preferences, strengths and needs of every pupil. Such activities, experienced within a range of areas of activity, aim to promote a broad base of movement, knowledge, skills and understanding whilst developing pupil’s interpersonal skills. They are also desirous of developing a pupil’s ability to work independently and to respond appropriately and sympathetically to others, irrespective of their age, gender, cultural or ethnic background.
The activities offered and the teaching approaches adopted seek to provide pupils with opportunities to develop their creative and expressive abilities, through improvisation and problem solving. Pupils are encouraged to appreciate the importance of a heath and active lifestyle and begin to understand the factors that influence health and fitness
