PE
Intent
At Parklands Primary School, we recognise the importance of PE and the role it has to play in promoting long-term, healthy lifestyles. Through carefully sequenced and progressive lessons, alongside extensive extra-curricular opportunities, children are provided with a high quality physical and sport education – enabling all children to have the knowledge and skills to succeed. It is our vision for every pupil to be appropriately challenged so that they can excel and reach their full potential; we strive to inspire our pupils through fun and engaging PE lessons that are accessible to all. Through our teaching of PE, we provide opportunities for pupils to develop values and transferrable life skills, such as teamwork and respect, as well as providing them with opportunities to take part in competitive sport. Additionally, we ensure that sporting competence is developed through a broad range of physical activities, which are carried out for sustained periods of time to not only promote a healthy and active lifestyle, but to foster an enjoyment and love of sport.
Implementation
Impact
Our curriculum aims to improve the wellbeing and fitness of all children at Parklands Primary School, not only through the sporting skills taught, but through the underpinning values and disciplines that PE promotes. We help motivate children to participate in a variety of sports through quality teaching that is engaging and fun. From our lessons, our children learn to take responsibility for their own health and fitness, many of whom also enjoy the success of competitive sports. We equip our children with the necessary skills and a love for sport. They will hopefully grow up to live happy and healthy lives utilising the skills and knowledge acquired through PE.
Through strong links with PHSE we promote the overall well-being and health of each child through teaching about self-discipline and that to be successful you need to take ownership and responsibility of their own health and fitness. In all classes, children possess a wide range of physical abilities. Whilst recognising this fact, we provide suitable learning opportunities for all children by matching the challenge of the task to the ability of the child. Children will also use fitness and sports to improve their physical and mental health throughout their lives.
