Our PE Curriculum Vision and Strategy
Research has proven a clear link between the health and wellbeing of students and their educational outcomes and this is at the forefront of our PE programme.
At St Peter’s C.E. Primary School we are committed to providing our pupils with up to 2 hours of high quality P.E. each week. All pupils are involved in our physical exercise program during curriculum time, which includes a variety of activities designed to challenge and inspire the children. The curriculum map ( see below) includes activities such as athletics, gymnastics, dance, invasion games, basketball, hockey, track and field events and swimming. We strongly believe that Physical Education is an important part of the curriculum as it helps develop pupils’ team work skills, physical ability and confidence, developing their capacity to use these skills to perform a range of activities.
As well as these curriculum activities, St Peter’s Primary School provides every child with the opportunity to take part in enrichment clubs after school, covering a wide range of sports.
Again, research has shown that participation in extra-curricular activities also has a positive effect on attainment and every child is offered the opportunity to join an enrichment club.
Our P.E. curriculum in action
Strong links, coupled with the continued hard work and effort invested in P.E. at St. Peter’s , allow the school to consistently improve the level and quality of sport on offer each year, both within the school day and at after school clubs.
