Curriculum Intent
Every child needs 60 minutes of physical activity everyday.
‘To promote a love of physical activity for life-long participation’
Our curriculum places a high value on knowledge. It is broad, balanced and sequenced to allow students to become physically literate:
- Motivated
- Confident
- Physically competent
- Have the knowledge and understanding to value and take responsibility for engagement in physical activity for life
Students follow a carefully sequenced curriculum, so knowledge is constantly reviewed and developed. We embody the National Curriculum Aims and ensure that all pupils experience success in their own pathway to life-long participation.
National Curriculum
The National Curriculum for physical education aims to ensure that all pupils:
- Develop competence to excel in a broad range of physical activities
- Are physically active for sustained periods of time
- Engage in competitive sports and activities
- Lead healthy, active lives

Other Information
The Physical Education Department supports close links with the local community and clubs as well as working with National Governing Bodies such as England Netball, British Judo and the Youth Sports Trust. Leadership opportunities are strongly endorsed within the department, providing alternative access into all Physical Education programmes. This is achieved through the delivery of primary school sporting festivals and supporting a broad and inclusive range of extra-curricular opportunities.
