Physical Education Vision
Our School Aims perfectly capture our Vision for PE.
Achieve beyond expectations –
Every year, pupils build up to producing a piece of PE portfolio work that is, where possible, of a standard higher than that at which they would regularly work
Be proud of our community, our school, our achievements and our peers –
PE is celebrated with pride in Friday Celebration Assemblies, when PE Graduates are regularly rewarded. Children’s PE homework is rewarded with golden stickers, which are displayed with pride. Children’s achievements on sports day are celebrated by all, with children cheering and encouraging each other.
Compete, with the belief that we have every chance of success –
University Challenge, on the final week of the school year, includes PE Graduates who compete for a trophy. There is an annual athletic competition, where children compete against their own personal best score to improve and enhance their skills. Sports day encourages winning and competition in a healthy and safe environment.
Develop a culture where we take appropriate risk, understanding this is how people learn, grow and achieve things they thought were too difficult –
The athletics competition and sports day encourage children to put themselves forward for events they may find challenging. PE lessons regularly incorporate challenging of self, through development of skills and differentiated activities for all children to achieve things they thought difficult.
Enable people to work together, in order to achieve more than we could on our own –
PE lessons regularly include paired and group work.
