We use the Get Set 4 P.E. published scheme, as recommended by the Points Sport Network, to ensure that our delivery of P.E. is clearly sequenced and developmental so that children know more and can do more in P.E. as they move through school.

Greystones Primary School - P.E. Curriculum Statement

​

Intent

​

At Greystones Primary School we offer a PE curriculum which enables children to develop competence to excel in a broad range of physical activities based on the National Curriculum. This results in pupils knowing more, remembering more and understanding how the knowledge and skills can be applied in their own physical activity and healthy lifestyle. In addition, we aim to build a curriculum that encourages and provides opportunities for all children to lead healthy, active lives and understand the importance and the benefits both mentally and physically. 

 

PE is delivered twice a week including  both an indoor and outdoor session. In addition to this, we aim to promote active learning in the classroom as well as active playtimes and lunch times. A broad balance of extra-curricular clubs and activities are offered as well as external providers offering curriculum support and interventions. 

 

Our PE curriculum covers the skills defined in the National Curriculum through themes which will challenge, motivate and inspire children. Progression is planned around knowledge, skills and vocabulary so that pupils leaving in year 6 will be equipped with the tools needed to be successful in secondary school.
