PE
In PE, we believe all children deserve the right to a varied and engaging PE curriculum consisting of a wide range of sports, skills and knowledge.
Our PE curriculum gives children the opportunity to:
- Children are encouraged to adopt an active and healthy lifestyle and enjoy engaging in physical activity.
- Children have access to a wide range of experiences which enable them to understand more about their body and promote mental and physical well-being.
- Children understand and are able to follow the rules of a wide range of sports and show sportsmanship, integrity and tolerance when working as part of a team.
- Children are motivated to express creativity and show resilience when facing a challenge.
- Children have opportunities to participate and also compete, showing ambition to develop their skills and talents in a competitive environment where appropriate.
PE At Reedings
At Reedings, we believe that Physical Education develops the pupils’ physical competence, their knowledge, skills and understanding, so that they can perform with increasing confidence in a range of physical activities for enjoyment and success.
These include dance, gymnastics, games, swimming and water safety, athletics and outdoor activities. Physical Education promotes an understanding in pupils of their bodies in action. It involves thinking, selecting and applying skills and promotes positive attitudes towards a healthy lifestyle. Thus we enable them to make informed choices about physical activity throughout their lives. We have had extended discussions with F&B to ensure that the PE curriculum builds on the skills they have gained during Key Stage 1.
These skills are taught each week through one PE lesson of one hour with a specialist PE Teacher, a 45-minute teacher-led PE session and 3 x 10 minute daily mile sessions.
Extra-Curricular opportunities
We also provide a wide range of extra-curricular clubs as well as taking children to a range of partnership competitions throughout the year. These competitions have a range of intentions, with some being competitive with the aim to win and others with an ‘Aspire’ intent which provide opportunities for a range of different children, including those with SEN. Within school, children have opportunities to compete on sports day and during house matches.
Curriculum resources
Our PE teacher, Mr Williams has planned progressive units in a wide range of sports for all year groups using the GetSet for PE platform. As children progress through the school, they gain transferable skills as well as a knowledge of rules and tactics in these sports. By Year 6, they are confidently playing games and are able to apply these skills and tactics as part of a team or individually. The GetSet 4 PE website provides a wide range of interesting and stimulating resources to inspire the children and enable them to enjoy a wide range of different sports and activities.
The Daily Mile
The aim of The Daily Mile is to improve the physical, social, emotional and mental health and wellbeing of our children – regardless of age, ability or personal circumstances. At Reedings, we will be completing the ‘Daily Mile’ 3 times per week as part of our weekly Physical Education.
