PE Curriculum at Bretherton

School Aims (INTENT)

The School's aims for Physical Education are:

  • Provide a broad, balanced and relevant curriculum that satisfies the needs of the current National Curriculum and provide pupils with appropriate challenge with acceptable risk.

  • Develop a whole school approach to physical development which takes pupils through progressive stages of learning and challenge, enabling them to fulfil their potential, develop competence and control in the gross and fine motor skills that pupils need to take part in PE and sport.

  • Ensure pupils have the opportunity to demonstrate that they know and understand how to apply their competence and make appropriate decisions for themselves by challenging pupils to select and use skills, tactics and compositional ideas.

  • Provide pupils with opportunities to use imaginative ways to express and communicate ideas, solve problems and overcome challenges, both as individuals and as part of a team or group.

  • Ensure pupils understand that PE and Sport are and important part of a healthy, active lifestyle and understand the contribution physical activity has on having a healthy body and mind.

  • Develop pupils' stamina, suppleness, strength and the mental capacities of determination and resilience.

  • Develop an environment in which pupils have the confidence to get involved in PE and Sport and are committed to make it a central part of their lives both in and out of school.

  • Provide an out of school hours programme of activities which extends and enriches curriculum provision and provides opportunity for activities to enable pupils to make sufficient progress to access curriculum sessions with greater success.

  • Provide opportunities for competition appropriate to the stage of the individual pupil's development.

  • Ensure that pupils enjoy PE and school sport and establish community links and pathways for pupils to engage in life-long participation.

  • Provide links to other areas of the curriculum and wider school, county and national agendas.
