PE - Physical Education
Intent
Physical Education at King’s Oak Primary School aims to develop the knowledge, skills and capabilities necessary for mental, emotional, social and physical wellbeing in our children now and for their future. All children will have access to two hours of high quality physical activity per week.
We have a carefully planned curriculum in PE which covers the full breadth of the National Curriculum. Learning is progressive and links are made to support children knowing and remembering more: this helps to prepare them for the next stage of their learning and education.
We teach the importance of physical fitness and it’s an important part of leading a healthier lifestyle. It teaches self-discipline and that to be successful you must work hard, show resilience, strive for excellence and have the determination to believe that anything can be achieved.
During lessons, we are determined that children will use vital skills from across the curriculum in the key areas, such as Invasion Games, Dance, Gymnastics, Striking &
Fielding, Athletics, Net & Wall, OAA, and Swimming. We strive to teach the children that only through hard work, perseverance and reflection can we improve our own performance and outcomes.
By delivering a well-designed curriculum that is progressive, challenging and inclusive starting from Foundation and finishing in Year 6 children will:
Be confident and competent in a range of sports by applying the skills learnt previously and building upon these.
- Learn fundamental skills which sets them up for lifelong participation in sport
- Develop an understanding in children of how to succeed in a range of physical activities and how to evaluate their own and others success.
- Children will learn the key skills of citizenship –encouraging and supporting others to improve outcomes for all as well as ourselves.
