PE at Easton
Curriculum Intent
- At Easton CE Academy we value Physical Education as an important part of the children's entitlement to a broad and balanced curriculum.
- Pupils will be provided opportunites to become physically confident in a way which supports their health and fitness.
- Pupils experience of Physical Education will be positive and motivating to promote active participation and lifelong learning.
- Lessons are designed to provide pupils the knowledge and cultural capital they need to succeed in life.
Implementation
- PE is taught using the REAL PE programme of study to ensure progression of skills in most year groups
- In the Early Years, Real PE objectives are taught through continuous provision for Terms 1-4. Dance and Gymnastics are then taught, following the Real PE framework.
- In Year 5 pupils have weekly swimming lessons.
- Teachers create an environment that allows pupils to focus on learning.
- The teaching materials teachers reflect the school’s ambitious intentions for the course of study and clearly support the intent of a coherently planned curriculum, sequenced towards cumulatively sufficient knowledge and skills for future learning and employment.
