Intent
At Trinity Road, we aim to provide children with an inspiring PE curriculum that offers them opportunities to learn the skills of a range of sports and the chances to use these skills in competitive situations. We have used the Get Set 4 PE scheme, alongside external sports experts, to develop a broad PE curriculum that gives all children the opportunity to develop skills, learn the fundamentals of a variety of sports and build sportsmanship.
Implementation
PE lessons happen twice each week, with the skills for two different sports being taught; these sports are changed each half term; teachers team teach with external Sports Coaches throughout the year to develop their own skills in a particular sport. During PE lessons, children not only learn the skills for that sport but also the importance of working together as a team and the need to respect each other in order to achieve.
During the course of the year and across the school, children are taught the skills needed for dance and gymnastics; a variety of ball games such as rugby, football, basketball and tennis; athletics; and outdoor and adventurous activities. Children also have swimming lessons during Year 4.
PE lessons are planned using our skills and knowledge progression document to ensure that each year group is building on and developing the skills that have been taught in the previous year.
As well as learning the skills needed for each sport the children also develop their understanding of the importance of exercise in order to keep fit and healthy and therefore are encouraged to lead active lives.
Impact
The impact of our PE curriculum is evident in the progress and achievements of our pupils. Through regular monitoring, assessment and evaluation, we ensure that every child makes excellent progress from their individual starting points.
Throughout PE lessons, children and adults offer feedback on the skills being developed to support the improvement of individuals’ skills and performance. Children take part in competitions and sport related activities across the year, showcasing their sports skills.
