Physical Education

PE Intent

“The national curriculum for physical education aims to ensure that all pupils develop competence to excel in a broad range of physical activities.”
Pupils will move progressively through three learning stages:
• Explore – EYFS, Year 1 and Year 2: Pupils explore basic movement skills of running, jumping, kicking, throwing and catching, whilst
demonstrating physical attributes of balance, agility and co-ordination.
• Combine – Year 3 and Year 4: Pupils combine basic movement skills of running, jumping, kicking, throwing and catching, whilst
demonstrating physical attributes of balance, agility and co-ordination.
• Refine – Year 5 and Year 6: Refine sport-specific skills whilst demonstrating physical attributes of flexibility, strength.
Pupils will participate in a range of games, as well as dance and gymnastics sequences and health-related fitness and outdoor adventurous activities.
