At St Bernadette’s we believe Physical Education (PE) is an essential and valuable part of our foundation curriculum. Curriculum PE is accessible, inclusive and covers a wide breadth of activities and sports.
Our curriculum at St Bernadette’s has been developed to ensure there is a full coverage of The National Curriculum and our key curriculum vehicle is Get Set PE, a new and exciting scheme which covers the areas of; Fundamental movement, Games, Gymnastics, Dance, Athletics, Swimming, Health & Fitness and Outdoor and Adventurous Activity.
PE is taught through aspects of specialist teaching, with a subject specialist teacher playing a role in promoting this subject, via delivery or coaching of others. From here class teachers and higher-level teaching assistants (HLTAs) and empowered and confident to further delivery of the PE curriculum from EYFS up to Year 6.
Taught PE is only seen as one element of our wider offer which includes, supporting health and mental well-being, clubs and activities, sports events, inclusion, enrichment and community health.
In delivering this wide and expansive offer our aim is to:
- To ensure that children are physically active and that they develop positive and enjoyable attitudes to physical activity and healthy life styles
- To enable each child to experience a sense of achievement through physical activity and to develop positive attitudes towards them
- To ensure that children develop a knowledge of safety and appreciation of the principles of safe practice
- To develop in all children a sense of self-worth and an appreciation of the differing abilities of others
- To promote a sense of fair play based on rules and the conventions of activities, thus developing positive sporting behaviour
- To improve observational skills and the ability to assess the effectiveness of performance
- To ensure that all children have equal access to all areas of Physical Education and that all space, facilities and equipment in the school be available to both boys and girls
- To identify children with special needs and to provide the support necessary to meet these needs in Physical Education
- To know how to conduct themselves in sporting competitions and accept authority
Our PE Subject Leader is Miss E McGrath.
