Intent, Implementation and Impact
Subject Key Objective Progression & Development by Year Groups
The following is a guide to help you understand your child’s progression through school.
All lessons are differentiated. This means teachers plan activities that enable the objective to be learned by all children including those who will find the objective challenging, those children who with hard work will secure good progress and those children who can tackle extra stretch and challenge in this subject.
Intent, Implementation and Impact
The curriculum is designed with our pupils and the Swinemoor community in mind.
It enables children to access and enhance their understanding of their home, their town and the wider community, developing their cultural capital and giving them opportunities and choices about their future and their impact as they progress through their school career and beyond.
This will help them become successful members of modern British society, preparing them for the challenges and opportunities.

Children will learn a variety of skills. They will be able to understand the mutual respect needed to compete in a sporting competition.
This will be evident through the way they conduct themselves when they compete. They will be tolerant of the different faiths and beliefs that contribute to team competitions locally, nationally and internationally.
The children will understand that they are to be compliant with the rules of a game and that we live in a democratic society where both men and women can play mixed sports.
What will be made, produced, performed, or published?
The children will showcase what they have learned in sporting competitions, such as, Sports Day.
In PE lessons, the children will reflect and cogitate on how they can make progress on their personal best.
Photographs will be published on the school’s website showcasing a range of techniques needed to compete and achieve beyond expectations in athletics.
A piece of portfolio work will be produced by the children with an emphasis on achieving their personal best in athletics on a weekly basis.
What knowledge will the children have embedded?
Children will know how to confidently and consistently use a range of methods, skills and techniques, such as: positioning, running, jumping and throwing, in order to participate in athletics.
They will know the correct sporting vocabulary depending on the activity. The children will understand why pace and agility is significant and how self-reflection can inspire them to achieve their personal best.
What retention may be demonstrated?
Here are some example questions that may be used to assess children’s understanding.
EYFS: What should we do with our arms when we are running?
KS1: What is the best position to start a race? Why must we move our arms when we are running?
KS2: Why is it important to set the pace in a race? How can self-reflection encourage us to perform better?
