PE Curriculum

P.E. at Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School plays a vital part of everyday school life. All pupils have a minimum of two hours of PE timetabled each week. P.E. offers children a combination of physical education, physical activity and competitive sports. We are also very lucky to have an additional Sports Coach throughout the week who is available for physical interventions, CPD and support with competitions.

Our aim is to develop children’s ability in a range of physical activities, to ensure children are able to sustain physical activity for a period of time and encourage children to engage in competitive sports and activities. In doing so, this will enable children to confidently lead healthy, active lives during and beyond school.

Intent

Physical education promotes an understanding in children of their bodies in action. It involves thinking, selecting and applying skills and promotes positive attitudes towards a healthy lifestyle. This a promise that we make to all children at Sacred Heart. We aim to enable children to make informed choices about physical activities throughout their lives.

At Sacred Heart, physical activity and sport runs through the school with opportunities to participate throughout and after the school day. We believe that children who are active and healthy are more likely to be well-motivated, positive children. Through clubs and PE lessons, we deliver a broad range of physical activities to participate are provided which aims to improve the physical, mental and social development of our children. We aim to:

  • Provide opportunities for all children to participate in physical activity during and out of school time.
  • Provide pathways and opportunities for our pupils to excel in sport.
  • Be proud of our individual achievements.
  • Build upon resilience, determination and respect through PE.
  • Strengthen friendships by developing communication, teamwork and confidence
  • Provide quality opportunities for children within and outside of school time.
  • Consistently deliver a high quality of PE utilising the PE Passport.
