At Our Lady & St Paul’s it is our intent to deliver a high quality physical education programme enabling children to become physically confident in a way which supports their health and fitness. We aim to provide a curriculum that inspires our children to succeed and excel in competitive sport and physically demanding activities. We believe that opportunities to represent our school in sporting competitions and activities will help build character and develop sportsmanship and respect. Our lessons are carefully planned to develop the core skills (agility, balance, co-ordination) that will enable our children to enjoy activity and feel confident in being active in a way which supports their health and fitness
The National Curriculum for Physical Education aims to ensure that all pupils:
- Develop competence to excel in a broad range of physical activities
- Are physically active for sustained periods of time
- Engage in competitive sports and activities
- Lead healthy, active lives
We are extremely keen here at Our Lady & St Paul’s for our children to use PE as a tool in developing healthy, social interactions. PE and sport can play a major role in teaching skills of cooperation, teamwork and build self-esteem.
We believe that the health benefits of physical activity go beyond a child’s overall health and fitness and have a lasting, positive impact on a child’s mental health and cognitive development.
Our PE Subject Leader is Mr Staley.
