Intent

We believe that all members of our school community can flourish as sports people and as fulfilled individuals. We will provide rich opportunities for learners to engage and expand their world views, both collaboratively and independently. 

Our curriculum aims to improve the wellbeing and fitness of all children at Caistor Primary not only through the sporting skills taught, but through the school values (respect, love and courage) that PE helps promotes.

Implementation

PE at Caistor Primary School provides challenging and enjoyable learning through a range of sporting activities including; invasion games (football, hockey, rugby), net games (netball, basketball), strike and field games (cricket and rounders), gymnastics, dance, swimming and outdoor & adventure.

The long-term plan sets out the PE units which are to be taught throughout the year in order to show progress against the skills identified and ensures that the requirements of the National Curriculum are fully met. Pupils participate in two high quality PE lessons each week, covering two sporting disciplines every half term. In addition, children are encouraged to participate in lunch time sporting activities and are signposted to provision for sport outside of school.

Children are encouraged to attend inter school sporting events within the local area. This is an inclusive approach which endeavours to encourage not only physical development but also mental well-being. These events also develop teamwork and leadership skills and are very much enjoyed by the children.

Children participate in workshops covering a variety of sports throughout the year. For example hula hooping, skipping, again providing the children with an opportunity to develop, improve their fitness and to try something new.

Children in Year 3 and 4 will be offered swimming lessons (once over the two years in LKS2) once a week for 10 weeks during the spring term.  We provide top up swimming in KS2  for any children that are still unable to swim.

Our PE apprentice is fully involved in the sporting life of our school, supporting children in their lessons or during lunch time activities. Our sports premium funding is targeted at actions which offer the best value for money for the highest possible number of children

Impact

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.
