PE – Acomb Primary School

The aim of our PE curriculum is to:

Equip children with the skills and confidence to be active and healthy members of the community.
Enable children to understand how to best care for their bodies and the importance and reasons for doing so.
Equip children with a breadth of sporting experiences so they can apply their learning to the wider world and go on to participate beyond school.
Ensure that children have the confidence, knowledge and skills to participate in a range of games and other physical activities.

	Resilience – Children show determination to succeed and have a positive approach to self-improvement.
	Aspiration – Children persevere in order to develop fundamental movement skills and apply these in different contexts.
	Integrity – Children demonstrate fairness and honesty both within sport and outside the school environment.
	Respect – Children can explain the value of exercise, both physically and mentally and are inclusive of all others.

We follow the National Curriculum and participate in the York School Sports Network.
We follow our school’s progression document; ensuring learning builds year by year.
We emphasise the importance of daily movement, be that in school or beyond our grounds.
We use quality equipment and coaches to stimulate children’s learning.
We signpost children to opportunities with local clubs and further afield.
We emphasise the importance of keeping active and healthy and the reasons for doing so, be that in focused sport or as part of our daily routines.

The intended impact is that children will:
- Experience a range of sports throughout their time in school.
- Develop an understanding of how to keep their bodies healthy and the importance of doing so.
- Have opportunities to participate in competitive sports, both in and out of school.
- Understand how to develop their sporting skills beyond the school setting.
