Intent

We aim to inspire all children at Woodchester 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. We want them to succeed and excel in competitive sport and physical activities.

We offer all children chances to compete in sport and other activities through our partnership with Atlas Sports where we play alongside and compete against other local small schools. This helps them build character and learn values such as fairness and respect.

Through PE, we develop the children’s knowledge, skills and understanding. They build confidence and competence in a range of activities.

 

Implementation

Each child receives two sessions of PE a week with specialist coaches or class teachers. We plan their sessions to cover a broad and full range of skills and activities.  Atlas Sports coaches work alongside teachers to deliver high-quality, engaging lessons and a variety of afterschool sports clubs. Children in key stage 2 attend swimming lessons in a local pool. They learn to swim 25 metres competently and confidently in a range of strokes. Woodchester also has a fantastic Forest school provision where children develop physical stamina alongside development of their gross and fine motor skills.

 

We teach in a way that children:

- 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 

 

Impact

All children receive a broad and balanced PE curriculum.

Every child will access the all the key areas of the subject.

Teachers plan PE with clear progression of skills and knowledge ensuring that all children access it at an age-appropriate level.

Daily opportunities for physical activity are provided including The Daily Mile and playground games at lunchtimes.

Children can also take part in competitions against other local schools.
