PE

Intent

‘Intelligence and skills can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong.’
John F Kennedy

At Bader Primary School, we strive to create a culture which aims to inspire an active generation to enjoy PE, show determination and encourage each other to aim high. We encourage good sporting behaviour, for example, positive cooperation, sportsmanship and respect. We provide a safe and supportive environment for children to flourish in a range of different physical activities which is essential in supporting their physical, emotional, spiritual, social and moral development.

Implementation

Teaching of PE in the Foundation Stage:

Pupils within EYFS undertake daily physical exercise within a specialised external area, including a multifunctional grass mound to support children’s gross motor skills. They also have use of the fully equipped sports and school hall for structured activities at least once a week. Cross curricular links enable PE activities to take place during English and maths.

Teaching PE in Key Stage 1 and 2:

All pupils from Year 1 to 6 have at least 2 hours’ worth of planned physical exercise each week. Mr Gunn, a full time sports coach, teaches PE. Class teachers deliver one session of PE per week. PE is further supplemented across school with a ‘Wake and Shake’ session to prepare them for learning. Pupils from Year 3 to 6 also have the opportunity for physical activity during morning and lunchtime breaks on the schoolyards, stocked with resources. Staff and Playground Leaders (trained pupils from Year 5) are on duty to coordinate a range of active playground games. Lunchtime sports clubs are also on offer to pupils alongside timetabled access to the fitness equipment and trim trail. Pupils in KS2 attend swimming lessons at Thornaby and Ingleby Barwick leisure pool, these are conducted in blocks. Year 6 have an annual residential trip in which they undertake a series of physical and challenging activities, including: assault course; mid-ropes to high wires; climbing wall; tree climb. Y4 children also attended an overnight residential to Carlton. During the summer term, Sports Days are held for EYFS and KS1/2 covering traditional sporting activities, however the focus during these events is participation.

As Bader Primary School is supported by the Stockton Schools partnership from EYFS to Year 6 we have the opportunity to participate in a variety of Healthy Active Lifestyle festivals as well as School Games events held across the town, which introduce a more competitive element into sporting activities. All our activities are supported by a variety of sports clubs led by school staff and visiting professionals both at lunchtime and after-school.

Impact

At Bader Primary School, through the teaching of PE children will be inspired to be active and enjoy PE in line with our school vision. The children will show good sporting behaviour and encourage each other to aim high in a safe and

supportive environment. Children will have taken part in a range of different physical activities to develop their physical,

emotional, spiritual, social and moral development.

This will be evidenced by:

• Pupil voice
• Observations of pupils demonstrating skills and knowledge during lessons.
