Intent

Our curriculum aims to inspire, motivate and challenge all children to be physically confident and be the best that they can be. We strive for all children to leave Puss Bank School and Nursery physically literate and have the knowledge, skills and motivation necessary to equip them for a healthy, active lifestyle and lifelong participation in physical activity and sport.

They will be taught essential skills for life and we aim that all children will be able to swim at least 25m before leaving us in Year 6.

Implementation

We provide challenging and enjoyable learning opportunities through a range of sporting activities. There is a focus on the fundamental movement skills in the early years. From Year 1 we deliver two high quality P.E lessons each week, covering two sporting disciplines in every half term. As the children advance through the school, the curriculum for games, gymnastics and dance is designed to ensure that progression is appropriate and challenging. We use P.E passport to support our delivery of the national curriculum.

 In addition to curriculum provision of physical education, all classes take part in ‘Mile a Day’ where possible throughout the day. This support the children in their self-regulation and mental health.

During lunchtimes there is arrange of activities to encourage physical engagement. We also offer several sports sessions led by a trained coach from Pearson’s Sport.
