PE Curriculum Overview
PE Intent
At Millbrook Primary School we strive to inspire a life-long love of sport and physical activity for our pupils to live mentally and physically healthy fulfilling lives.
All children are taught to observe and produce the conventions of fair play, honest competition and good sporting behaviour as individual participants, team members and spectators. This will embed life-long values such as co-operation, collaboration and fairness.
We follow the GetSet4PE Scheme which is designed to inspire and engage children allowing them to explore and develop skills and embed knowledge. There is a clear progression throughout the school; from the fundamentals of dance, gymnastics and ball skills in EYFS to the application of skills in a variety of more complex sports and activities in Key Stage 2.
Children have swimming lessons in Year 3 with opportunities for catch-up in order to know how to keep safe near and in water and to meet the National Curriculum requirements of swimming 25m.
By the time the children leave Year 6, they will have developed a sustained level of endurance, experienced a range of sport & activity and had competitive opportunities.
- We aspire for children to adopt a positive mind-set and to find sports and or physical activity which they enjoy. We encourage children to reflect upon their emotional state pre and post physical activity to acknowledge that being active can improve mental wellbeing. All children are also able to explain why being physically active is paramount to their physical health.
