PE

At Old Hill Primary School, it is our intent to provide a high-quality curriculum that enables all pupils to become physically literate, be inspired to succeed in a range of physical activities and foster a life-long passion for total health and well-being.

Our PE curriculum intends to inspire our children to be active and to enjoy PE, encourage each other and achieve. We provide a safe and supportive environment for children to flourish in a range of different physical activities which is essential in supporting their physical, emotional, spiritual, social, and moral development.

We offer a dynamic, varied and stimulating programme of activity to ensure that all children progress physically through an inspirational, unique, and fully inclusive PE curriculum. We encourage all children to develop their understanding of the way in which they can use their body, equipment, and apparatus safely yet imaginatively to achieve their personal goals.

All children have the opportunity to enjoy being physically active, maintain a healthy lifestyle and using the medium of sport, to increase their self-esteem. We aspire for children to adopt a positive mind-set and believe that anything can be achieved with determination and resilience.

The aim of Physical Education is to promote physical activity and healthy lifestyles. 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.

Our PE Curriculum teaches children about the importance of healthy living and learning about the need for good nutrition. We aim for children to develop the necessary knowledge and skills which will have a positive impact on their future by becoming physically active citizens to benefit their long-term health and well-being.
