Aims

• To give our pupils opportunities for progression, knowledge and development of skills through the enjoyment of physical activity in a structured curriculum and safe, supportive environment.
• To foster a positive attitude towards fitness, health and hygiene.

To ensure that each child:

• Receives a balanced programme of physical activities as set out in the National Curriculum;
• Will be taught in a safe, structured environment in which he/she can develop physical skills, become self-motivated and acquire confidence and pride in physical achievement;
• Will be encouraged to develop to his/her full potential;
• Knows where equipment is stored and how to handle and use it safely;
• Is aware of the need for a dress code which encourages safety e.g.
  - No jewellery to be worn;
  - Change of clothing and shoes to be worn;
  - Long hair tied back;
  - Swimming hat to be worn whilst swimming;
  - Verrucah socks to be worn.

Differentiation

We aim to encourage all pupils to reach their full potential through the provision of varied opportunities. We recognise that our curriculum planning must allow pupils to gain a progressively deeper understanding and competency as they move through our school.

Evaluation and Assessment

The assessment of P.E. is an integral part of teaching. It allows teachers to identify what has been learnt and to monitor pupils' progress. Assessment should also diagnose and identify ways of over coming particular learning difficulties. Examples of achievement will be collated in the pupil's individual profile i.e. certificates.
