At Blessed John Duckett RC Primary School, it is our intention to provide a PE curriculum:
- That enables children to develop knowledge, skills and vocabulary in a broad range of sporting activities through PE lessons, competitions and active lessons.
- Develops values and transferable life skills such as fairness, resilience and respect.
- Through core tasks we aim to give the children physical literacy, fundamental movement skills, core strength, fitness and physical skills that the children can then apply to specific sports by the end of KS2.
- Children will develop a lifelong love of physical activity, sport and PE by creating an active culture throughout the school with active lessons, playtimes, extra-curricular clubs, tournaments and events.
- Our PE curriculum is designed to ensure a positive and healthy physical and mental outlook in the future and help young people to develop essential skills like leadership and teamwork.
- Within each lesson, we strive to give every child the opportunity to develop skills in PE, consider the impact on their health and fitness, compete/perform and evaluate.
- To use PE as a way of developing personal, social and emotional development through supporting their peers, playing as a team, developing leadership skills, helping each other improve and celebrating each other's achievements.
- All learning is as tailored and inclusive as possible.
- It is also the intention to ensure that every child has access to at least 60 minutes of physical activity every day.
