PHYSICAL EDUCATION (PE) AT
MALMESBURY PARK PRIMARY SCHOOL
CURRICULUM INTENT STATEMENT
At Malmesbury Park, we recognise and value the importance of Physical Education (P.E.). PE 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.
Aims:
- Develop competence to excel in a broad range of physical activities.
- Are physically active for sustained periods of time.
- Engage in competitive sports and activities.
- Lead healthy, active lives.
The PE curriculum 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 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 syllabus is based on the National Curriculum with a 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 is the need to develop understanding and knowledge of 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.
Primary PE & Sports Premium Overview
The Government is providing funding to enhance the availability and quality of PE and Sports provision. This funding is being jointly provided by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport – and will see money going directly to Primary Schools to spend on improving the quality of physical education and sport for all school pupils. The funding is ring-fenced with the school able to choose how it is spent in accordance to the identification of specific interests and needs. Accountability for the grant aid rests with all primary schools with the added responsibility of reporting online both spend and impact so that the wider community is able to assess performance levels of regional primary teaching establishments.
Malmesbury Park is committed to ensuring that the Primary PE & Sports Premium funding is allocated to high quality, sustainable initiatives that address the following key areas:
- Staff professional development including Subject Leader Management.
- Improved PE & Sport-specific resourcing.
- Raised participation levels within curricular and extra-curricular activities including intra & inter competition.
- Improved knowledge; skills and understanding related to health and fitness.
- Increased learning opportunities associated with healthy diet and nutrition.
