At Kenton Bar Primary School, we place a great emphasis on the importance of Physical Education within our curriculum. Physical Education contributes to our health and emotional well-being, which supports and facilitates our academic and social development.

Intent

In our Early Years Foundation Stage, we aim to:

• Develop the co-ordination and control of our pupils to enable them to demonstrate a variety of movements and handle equipment and tools proficiently

• Develop their ability to move in a range of ways and negotiate space safely and effectively.

In Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2, children study the National Curriculum for Physical Education and we aim to:

• Inspire all pupils to succeed and excel in competitive sport and other physically-demanding activities

• Provide opportunities for pupils to become physically confident in a way which supports their health and fitness

• Provide opportunities for children to compete in sport and other activities

• Build character and help to embed values such as fairness and respect.

• Provide regular opportunities for our children to be physically active for sustained periods of time.
