PE KS2 Skills Progression Documents
In P.E., children develop competence to excel in a broad range of physical activities and are physically active for sustained periods of time. We use P.E. Planning schemes of work and enhance this with our own resources which are acquired from FA football, British Gymnastics and the LTA. The planning develops skills and puts these into practice in games, gymnastics, dance etc. We are also a member of Sporting Influence which provides the children with opportunities to engage in competitive sports and activities and lead healthy, active lives. At St. Joseph's, we ensure that our pupils become physically confident in a way that supports their health and fitness. The children also learn values such as respect and fairness whilst they engage in a range of sporting activities. We broadly follow the P.E. Planning scheme ensuring our children learn and develop physical activity skills such as strength, stamina and sportsmanship.
Dedicated sports coach
At St Joseph's , we are delighted to have a dedicated sports coach.
We believe its important that our children have the opportunity to take part in a wide variety of sports so they can improve their fitness, discover what they are good at, and gain confidence by finding something they really enjoy – whatever their ability.
We deliver a high-quality physical education curriculum which aims to inspire all pupils to succeed and excel in competitive sport and other physically-demanding activities.
Swimming
Learning about water safety and knowing how to keep yourself safe in and around water is a life-skill and as such, should be recognised and measured in the same ways as other key subjects such as maths. Including a condition that ensures swimming and water safety attainment is published will help to show how we can support schools to deliver these vital lessons.
