Intent
Brampton Primary School recognises and values the importance of Physical Education (P.E). PE at Brampton Primary School aims to develop a fun, high-quality physical education curriculum that inspires all pupils to succeed and excel in competitive sports and other physically-demanding activities. We do this through fully adhering to the aims of the national curriculum for physical education to ensure that all children:
• develop competence to excel in a broad range of physical activities
• are physically active for sustained periods of time
• engage in competitive sports and non-competitive activities
• lead healthy, active lives
It is our intention to build a curriculum that enables children to develop knowledge, skills and vocabulary in a broad range of sporting activities, as well as developing values and transferrable life skills such as tolerance, fairness and respect. Through enrichment activities such as sporting festivals and intra-school competitions, we aim to raise the profile of PE and expose our children to sports they may never have had the opportunity to engage with. Our PE curriculum shows clear progression structure from Reception to Year 6. This progression of skills has been planned in order to build on the skills needed to meet the end of Key Stage objectives in the National Curriculum.
Additionally, an imperative element of the curriculum at Brampton shows a need for healthy life styles, a balanced diet, positive growth mind-set and the resilience to persevere. We are passionate about the need to teach children how to co-operate and collaborate with others, as part of a team, understanding fairness and equity of play to embed life-long values.
Implementation
Impact
The implementation of this curriculum ensures that when children leave Brampton Primary School, they are motivated to participate in a variety of different sports and keen to maintain some level of lifelong activity. Our children learn to take responsibility for their own health and fitness, many of whom also enjoy the success of competitive sports. Our pupils make good progress in PE and we equip our children with the necessary skills to develop a love for sport. They will hopefully grow up to live happy and healthy lives utilising the skills and knowledge acquired through PE.
