PE
At Crossdale, we believe that the core knowledge taught in P.E lessons is essential for all children to help them learn how to lead a healthy and active lifestyle, now and in the future. Through P.E we aim for each pupil to develop an understanding of how the body works and the fundamental movements required (coordination, balance, agility, running, jumping, throwing and catching) to enable them to take part in any team game or sport. Teamwork, resilience, respect and sportsmanship will underpin all our teaching. We believe that physical activity is key to maintaining children’s mental health and wellbeing and will therefore be threaded through lessons and not just taught in P.E.
The PE curriculum is taught through the PE planning scheme ‘Get Set 4 Education’, which is in line with the National Curriculum. This is used to aid teaching staff in their subject knowledge. Teachers can adjust and change lessons to suit the needs of their classes, but the scheme provides a strong, progressive, basis of what is expected. Each class has access to 2 hours of high-quality PE lessons every week. Children are given the opportunity to practise skills in a variety of ways and each lesson builds upon the previous skills, allowing them time to embed it. Different skills are recapped throughout and across the years, each time they are being built upon; allowing children to know more and remember more. Children also receive swimming lessons these lessons run throughout the whole year. This means that children have the best opportunity to meet the swimming requirements as they have the whole year to learn, practise and apply the skill needed.
We offer a wide range of sporting after school clubs ran by our staff and external providers, These clubs are paid for by school and they provide children with access to a wide range of sporting activities for all abilities we encourage as many children as possible to attend as physical education is great for their mental wellbeing. At Crossdale we run a range of inter and intra events run throughout the school year, giving children opportunities to take part in competitive sports also, for children who may need extra support in fundamental movements
At Crossdale, we aim to:
- Develop a love of physical activity and sport.
- Give children the confidence to practice and apply skills,to take part in team games and engage in competitive activity whilst striving for their personal best.
- Deliver a curriculum which allows all children to have the skills and mindset to leave primary school with the capabilities to be successful in their sporting challenges and active lifestyles at secondary school and beyond.
- Develop knowledge and critical thinking skills to enable pupils to help themselves and others improve performances.
- Ensure their accurate use and understanding of specific vocabulary
- Enrich the curriculum with external providers, trips and visitors to school to inspire and challeng
PE is taught through specific subject lessons which build and revisit knowledge as the children progress through school.
