Implementation (How we will do it)

Children at Wath C of E participate in weekly high-quality PE and sporting activities. Our PE programme incorporates a variety of sports to ensure all children develop the confidence, tolerance and the appreciation of their own and others’ strengths and weaknesses. We provide opportunities for all children to engage in extra-curricular activities, including the chance to participate in inter-school sporting competitions. This is an inclusive approach which endeavours to encourage not only physical development but also mental, emotional and social well-being.

 

​In order to deliver our PE curriculum will deliver:

• The long term plan sets out the Val Sabin PE units which are to be taught throughout the year and ensures that the requirements of the National Curriculum are fully met.

• Pupils participate in two high quality PE lessons each week, covering two sporting disciplines every half term. In addition, children are encouraged to participate in the varied range of extracurricular activities after school sport clubs which change half-termly.

• During each PE lesson the teacher will plan for retrieval of fundamental skills that the children have experienced throughout their PE learning journey.  These skills will show a clear link to the learning in the current unit and will also feed into the live assessment taking place.

• Children are invited to attend competitive sporting events within the local area. This is an inclusive approach which endeavours to encourage not only physical development but also mental well-being. These events also develop teamwork and leadership skills and are very much enjoyed by the children.

• Children in Year 4 swim once a week for 10 weeks during the Spring Term.

• As well as morning break and lunchtime, children are encouraged to join in active learning during lessons across our curriculum.
