Implementation

We aim to provide a well-balanced curriculum which covers the statutory requirements for the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and the PE National Curriculum. We follow LCP PE scheme of work throughout the whole school.

In the Reception Class (EYFS), opportunities are provided for children to be active and  to  develop  their  co-ordination,  control  and  movement  through  moving  and handling  activities  which  involve  the  use  of  a  range  of  equipment  and  involve different spatial experiences.  Structured lessons and opportunities for outdoor physical activity amount to at least two hours each week.

Pupils  in  both  KS1  and  KS2  engage  in  two  hours  of  high  quality  PE  during  the course of each week.  In KS1 the curriculum focuses on fundamental movement skills to develop agility, balance and co-ordination.   Curriculum content includes ball skills and team games, gymnastic and dance activities. At KS2 pupils continue to apply and develop a range of skills and units of work include a range of invasion, net / wall,  and  fielding  and  striking  games,  gymnastics,  dance,  athletics  and swimming.   

We also enrich children’s experiences through opportunities for outdoor and adventurous activities.

Through the Government Funding for sport, where possible, the school will provide opportunities for pupils to work with PE specialists.  The funding will support PE training by providing opportunities for teachers to work alongside specialist teachers.

Impact

Assessment for learning is made through short term (daily/weekly) observations  of  children’s  work,  through  discussion  with  the  children  and through  their  own self-assessment.
