Vision Statement
At Park View School, we recognise the importance of PE and the role it has to play in promoting long term, healthy lifestyles. The intent of our PE curriculum is to provide all children with high quality PE and sport provision. It is our vision for every pupil to succeed and achieve their potential as well as to lead physically active lifestyles. We strive to inspire our pupils through fun and engaging PE lessons that are enjoyable, challenging and accessible to all. Through our teaching of PE, we will provide opportunities for pupils to develop values and transferrable life skills such as fairness, teamwork, respect and resilience as well as providing them with opportunities to take part in competitive sport. PE teaching at Park View embraces the opportunity to access the community including residential stays and foster positive attitudes in society.
Intention Statement
At Park View School we aim to inspire all children and for each child to fulfil their potential. We want the children’s experience of PE to be positive and motivating. PE enables pupils to become physically confident. This supports their health, wellbeing and fitness and provides the foundations for lifelong activity. Through PE, we develop the learners’ knowledge, skills and understanding. They build confidence and competence in a range of activities.
Implementation
Each child receives 2 hours of PE a week with specialist class teachers. We plan their sessions to cover a broad and full range of skills and activities which include lessons in fitness, gymnastics, football, basketball, hockey, various net sports and cycling.
We teach in a way that learners:
• have fun and experience success in sport
• can join in at their own level of development
• build and secure a range of skills
• develop good sporting attitudes
• understand basic rules
• experience positive competition
• learn in a safe environment
Aims
Our curriculum aims to ensure that all pupils:
• develop their fundamental movement skills
• improve their agility, balance and coordination
• lead and join in PE games with growing confidence, developing their speaking and listening
• skills learn useful PE vocabulary and knowledge to help them at KS3 and beyond
• enjoy fitness and understand the importance of good diet and exercise
Impact
All children receive a broad and balanced PE curriculum. Every child will access all the key areas of the subject. PE is planned with clear progression of skills and knowledge. This ensures that all children access it at an age-appropriate level. We also hold daily opportunities for physical activity at break and lunch time clubs which take place on a daily basis. The children can also take part in competitions against other local schools throughout the year as part of the Wanderers Sports Association activities of which our PE lead is chairman.
Key stage 3
Pupils develop their movement skills. They extend their agility, balance and coordination. They engage in competitive and cooperative physical activities which include basketball, badminton, table tennis, fitness and gymnastics.
Key stage 4
Pupils continue to apply and develop a broader range of skills such as football, basketball, athletics, cricket, tennis and hockey and use these skills in competitive games and performances. They also evaluate their own and others’ work. Pupils communicate and collaborate with each other and are given the opportunity to work as role models. They learn how to improve in physical activities. There are many chances for children to take part in competitions in school and against other schools. We celebrate their successes.
Cross curricular links
Wherever possible, we make meaningful links to other areas of the curriculum. These links relate to learners’ physical and mental wellbeing. We support small groups of children specifically to improve their fitness levels. They have additional PE time each week in clubs during non structured time and after school. The learners are encouraged to take responsibility for their own development over the course of a school year and are supported in finding local sports clubs to help further develop their interest.
