Home About Curriculum News & Events Parent Information Contact PE & Sports Premium Our Physical Education (PE) Mission Statement & Approach to Promoting PE Across School At Normand Croft PE is differentiated from free play or recreational play. It is defined as the observation, practice and sequential development of specific skills that serve a purpose eg. in a drill, small or modified game, team game or whole class activity. We believe that: PE is a vital component of our overall values-based approach to effective learning PE should be enjoyable, meaningful and accessible to all children PE should help children to develop confidence, self-esteem and co-ordination PE should enable children to understand the benefits of participating positively and fully in teamwork PE should be experienced in a safe and supportive yet challenging environment, one which promotes physical, emotional and social development, and well-being of everyone involved. We aim to: Make PE an enjoyable and meaningful experience for all Provide opportunities for children to become knowledgeable about their bodies and develop their ability to manipulate their body safely in a variety of different situations Promote an active and health-conscious approach to lifestyle choices Provide opportunities for children of all abilities, ages and backgrounds Promote a positive association with PE Raise awareness and develop appreciation for artistic and aesthetic understanding through movement Assist in establishing and fostering children’s self-esteem through physical confidence and cooperation in physical activities Provide and develop experiences for practicing interpersonal skills Allocation of time given to Physical Education Across the school two hours of PE is allocated per week, split into two one-hour sessions. One of these sessions is delivered and taught by a PE coach from an external coaching agency, and the other being taught by the children’s class teacher. Within these sessions pupils are taught a range of skills and techniques within the following areas; gymnastics, dance, team sports and individual sports such as, tennis and athletics. PE is planned according to best practice and the National Curriculum guidelines and sessions build upon one another developing, reinforcing and enhancing skills and techniques through reviewing, practising and applying. This is done in a variety of ways, such as teacher modelling, pupil modelling and participation in individual and team games. Across the school, children learn sports/games such as skittleball, cricket, basketball, short tennis, swimming, circuit training, tag rugby, rounders and football. Pupils are also offered opportunities to: Participate in school teams – including Mayors Cup Boys and Girls Football Teams, Skittleball Team and athletics Take part in both inter-school (eg. District Athletics Competition) and intra-school events (such as Sports Day) Join after-school clubs – including football training and development, dance and multi-skills PE & Sport Premium The premium is ring-fenced funding from the DfE.
