PE
Physical Education – Intent
At Kirkoswald CE Primary school, the intent of our PE Curriculum is to provide all children with a range of high-quality physical activities and opportunities to take part in competitive sport. It is our vision for every pupil to achieve their potential, develop an enthusiasm for participating in physical activity and thus lead physically active lifestyles.
Our PE programme aims to equip pupils with the physical skills, literacy and knowledge to participate positively and confidently in team, individual and outdoor and adventurous activities. In all years, PE is planned twice a week (1 hour per session). Our PE Curriculum is designed to be engaging, varied and developmental; revisiting and building on previous years skills and experience.
We are fortunate to have and work closely with both of our PE providers. One hour a week is delivered by our specialist PE teacher and the second hour is delivered by an external football coach.
At the heart of all lessons is a sense of enjoyment, challenge and inclusivity; however, it is also important that pupils develop an understanding of the role that PE and competitive sport play in their physical, social and emotional wellbeing.
Additional physical activities are also offered at lunchtime, afterschool and through sporting competitions with other schools. These aim to provide pupils with an additional opportunities to play competitive sport and enhance their understanding of sportsmanship, teamwork and endeavour.
By the time that children leave Kirkoswald school, we aim for them to have the depth and breadth of physical knowledge and skills that enables them to be confident to try new sporting opportunities and participate in life-long physical activity.
