GAMES

Curriculum Intent

Our PE curriculum (PE passports) offers a planned sequence of lessons to help teachers ensure they have progressively covered the requirements of the PE National Curriculum. The whole school overview ensures that children have a varied and well mapped out PE curriculum. It provides the opportunity for progression across the full breadth of the PE National Curriculum for KS1 and KS2 for both indoor and outdoor PE. In KS1, the focus of the PE curriculum is on the development of the fundamental skills that will be built upon in KS2 when they are applied in specific sports. At Boothferry Primary School, it is our intention to develop a lifelong love of physical activity, sport and PE in all young people. We aim to help ensure a positive and healthy physical and mental outlook in the future and help young people to develop essential skills like leadership and teamwork. Within each lesson, we strive to give every child the opportunity to develop skills in PE, consider the impact on their health and fitness, compete/perform and evaluate. All lessons are carefully differentiated which helps to ensure that learning is as tailored and inclusive as possible. It is also the intention of our school to ensure that every child has access to at least 120 minutes of physical activity every week.

Curriculum Implementation

Our detailed lesson plans ensure that all teachers are equipped with the secure subject knowledge required to deliver modern, high-quality teaching and learning opportunities for all areas of the PE National Curriculum. Lesson plans that include objectives, key words/equipment, activities and learning outcomes support teachers in their subject knowledge, allowing them to teach, confidently and concisely. Our overarching aim is for teachers to have the knowledge and skills they need to feel confident in teaching all areas of PE, regardless of their main areas of expertise. Lessons are planned alongside subject-specific progression maps to ensure that children are given the opportunity to practise existing skills and build on these to develop new or more advanced skills. There is a structure to the lesson sequence whereby prior learning is always considered and opportunities for revision and practise are built into lessons. However, this is not to say that this structure should be followed rigidly: it allows for this revision to become part of good practice and ultimately helps build depth to the children’s knowledge, skills and understanding in PE. Our PE scheme aims at ensuring all children have access to at least 120 minutes of physical activity every week.

Curriculum Impact

Each unit is mapped against the progression documents to ensure that learners develop detailed knowledge and skills across the full breadth of the PE curriculum through engaging and age-appropriate curriculum content. Our indoor units are often themed with strong cross-curricular links to other subjects and topics. This all helps to make the learning memorable, allowing links to be made and ultimately creating a higher level of engagement and understanding.

The high quality and consistent approach to PE teaching, should significantly improve attainment in knowledge and skills in PE. The impact of using the range of resources and equipment in school as well as yearly events (for e.g. sports days, Tour de Boothferry, Sports Relief, Change 4 Life, Daily Mile) increase the profile of sport, PE and physical activity across the school. With technical PE vocabulary displayed, spoken and used by all learners, the learning environment will be more consistent across both key stages. Attainment and progress is measured using assessment activities, which lead to end of year summative assessments and end of year subject reviews that will inform the following year’s action plan.
