Sports and PE

PE at Kingsley Community Primary:

Intent:

PE sessions will develop a child’s knowledge, skill and understanding, so that they can perform with increasing competence and confidence in a range of physical activities. Our varied curriculum supports this with activities including: dance, athletics, gymnastics, games, swimming and water safety and outdoor adventure activities. Physical education will promote an understanding in children of their bodies in action. It will involve thinking, selecting and applying skills and promote positive attitudes towards a healthy lifestyle. It will enable children to make informed choices about physical activities throughout their lives.

Through the teaching of PE we intend to:

  • Enable children to develop and explore physical skills with increasing control and co-ordination.
  • Encourage children to work and play with others in a range of group situations.
  • Develop the way children perform skills and apply rules and conventions for different activities.
  • Show children how to improve the quality and control of their performance.
  • Teach children to recognise and describe how their bodies feel during exercise.
  • Develop the children’s enjoyment of physical activity through creativity and imagination.
  • Develop an understanding in children of how to succeed in a range of physical activities and how to evaluate their own success

 

Implementation:

Teaching of PE in the Foundation Stage:

Pupils within EYFS will undertake daily physical exercise within external play areas. They will also have use of the sports hall and tennis courts for structured activities at least twice a week.  Cross curricular links will enable PE activities to take place during literacy and maths and other foundation subjects.

Teaching PE in Key Stage 1 and 2:

All pupils from Year 1 to 6 will have at least 2 hours’ worth of planned physical exercise each week. Over the academic year, they will develop skills and knowledge in a variety of disciplines (see PE overview).

PE is will be further supplemented in both Key stages and EYFS by the use of the Daily Mile – an initiative that we have adopted to encourage pupils to walk, run, skip, hop etc. around a track on the school field, to increase the amount of physical activity they participate in each day.

Pupils from Year 1 to 6 will also have the opportunity for physical activity during morning and lunchtime breaks on one of two well-equipped school yards. Staff and Play Leaders (trained pupils from Year 5) will be on duty to co-ordinate a range of active playground games. Lunchtime sports clubs will also be on offer at certain times throughout the year.

Pupils from Year 3 and 4 will attend 6 weeks’ worth of swimming lessons at Northwich Brio Swimming Pool, with ‘top-up’ sessions for year 5 children who require support in meeting the 25 m expectation.

During their time at Kingsley, children will be invited on annual residential trips, where they undertake a series of physical and challenging activities including: assault course; mid-ropes to high wires; climbing walls; Kayaking, orienteering etc.

Inter-house competitions will take place throughout the year, giving house-captains and sports/playground leaders a chance to develop their sports and leadership skills. All children will be expected to take part in the summer Sports Day - competing for their house team, and some children will have opportunities to represent the school in inter-school competitions and tournaments.

Throughout the year, there will be a range of pre and after school sports clubs on offer for all ages, led by staff and/or outside agencies such as Gymnastics, Football, Street Dance, Netball, Tag Rugby, Yoga etc.
