Highcliffe St Mark Primary School

Physical Education Vision Statement

Physical Education in Key stage 1

Our aim is to give every child the opportunity to feel the sense of togetherness and team spirit that Physical Education offers. Children will develop ‘positive memories’ throughout their PE experience, encouraging them to embrace further opportunities now and in the future. We promote a curriculum which inspires, a passion for taking part in sport and for having a healthy active lifestyle. PE in our school supports children’s sense of well-being through raising self-esteem and giving them a sense of fulfilment and achievement. They will learn the importance of being a good sports person. PE lessons will build on prior learning, challenge application of basic movements across a range of sporting areas and improve teamwork skills, making the most of the enriched facilities our school grounds offer.

Physical Education in Key Stage 2

Our job is to give every child the opportunity to feel the sense of togetherness, to feel that they are part of a team and develop a passion for being active, something that Physical Education offers with abundance. Children will develop ‘positive memories’ throughout their PE experience, encouraging them to embrace further opportunities for involvement, including competitions and ultimately lifelong sport participation. Basic movements (e.g. running, jumping throwing and catching) will be mastered and applied in a range of sporting scenarios, with children evaluating their own success. Physical Education lessons will build on prior learning, challenge application of basic movements across a range of sporting areas and improve teamwork skills. Fun and enjoyment will be at the forefront of staff planning and delivery.
