PE

Intent

At the Federation of King’s Park Infant and Grove House Infant and Nursery we know:

  • Our children are proud to take part in PE activities organised by the schools.
  • Our children enjoy participating in sports clubs after school.
  • Some children are lacking in the skills to be resilient and find it harder to cope when they are not successful.
  • Children do not access a range of different sports outside of school.
Implementation

The PE curriculum, across the Federation, has been planned as follows:

  • Intra-school competitions have been implemented at to allow all children opportunities to compete and apply the skills they have been learning.
  • Sport after school clubs take place regularly.
  • We follow a scheme of work delivered by the teachers (Val Sabin), this focuses on the social, personal and cognitive aspects and allows children to work on personal goals and build resilience.
  • Our school learning powers & British values are taught through PE.
  • Football is not taught within P.E lessons. This allows us to focus on a range of other sports and allows for a level playing field.
  • Specialist sports coaches deliver a wide range of sports including dodgeball, bench ball, handball, gymnastics, tag rugby rounders, netball, gymnastics and dance.
Impact
  • Children are exposed to a range of sports throughout their time at including: tag rugby, netball, dodgeball, cricket, rounders, athletics, basketball, dance and gymnastics.

  • Key vocabulary is explicitly taught related to the unit.

  • During the teaching of games – children are taught the key skills, rules and tactics associated with a range of sports.
  • During dance units a range of genres of music are taught and create routines.
  •  Lessons are planned which build upon skills learnt previously, for example in gymnastics which is taught between years 1 to 6.
  •  Children are given frequent opportunities to apply the skills learnt to game situations during lessons as well as intra school competitions.
  • Children have the opportunity to represent the school in a range of sports from Reception upwards through WNDSSP

  • Children are encouraged to reflect on their own performance and that of others using self and peer assessment. This is modelled by the teacher/coach using correct vocabulary
  • Children make connections with previous learning e.g. the principles of attacking and defending in tag rugby are linked with other invasion games. This is referred to by the coach/teacher at the beginning of a new sequence of learning.

Across the Federation, PE is split into 4 core areas:
