Curriculum Intent: Physical Education

                Growth -         To recognise and celebrate their own individual journey, understanding                                               their own uniqueness and strengths and those of others

Implementation:

Our pupils should be able to organise their knowledge, skills and understanding into the following threshold concepts:

• Agility
• Balance
• Coordination
• Healthy competition
• Cooperation

 

These key concepts underpin the children’s learning through the year groups from Reception to Year 2. This enables pupils to reinforce and build upon prior learning, make connections and develop subject specific language. 

Aspirations For The Future

Assessment

Through the explicit teaching of the Physical Education skills, both the teachers and the pupils assess their learning continuously throughout the lesson. Our assessment systems enable teachers to make informed judgements about the depth of their learning and the progress they have made over time.
