We believe that physical education (PE) plays a vital role in the growth and development of every pupil. Our PE curriculum is designed to inspire enthusiasm, promote healthy lifestyles, and develop essential life skills in a safe and inclusive environment.
Our PE Curriculum: Building Competence and Confidence
We aim to develop pupils who:
- Excel across a broad range of physical activities by developing competence and confidence.
- Understand the importance of a healthy, active lifestyle for their overall wellbeing.
- Enjoy being physically active, fostering a lifelong love of movement.
- Have equal opportunities to represent the school in competitive sports, embracing fairness and teamwork.
Our carefully structured PE curriculum incorporates the School Games Values — determination, honesty, respect, passion, teamwork, and self-belief — which are integral to both our teaching and pupils’ learning experiences. These values align closely with our school ethos, helping pupils grow not only physically but also morally and socially.
A Diverse and Engaging Range of Activities
To ensure all pupils are engaged and challenged, we offer a broad spectrum of sports and physical activities, including:
- Invasion Games (e.g., football, rugby)
- Net & Wall Sports (e.g., tennis, badminton)
- Striking & Fielding Sports (e.g., cricket, rounders)
- Gymnastics & Dance
- Swimming
This diversity sparks enthusiasm and excitement, encouraging pupils to explore new skills and discover their unique gifts, in line with our vision of helping everyone become the best version of themselves.
Specialist Support and Community Links
We are proud to work closely with local sports clubs, providing gifted and talented pupils with enhanced opportunities to develop their skills beyond the classroom. The involvement of specialist teachers and coaches helps our staff deliver high-quality PE lessons that cater to the needs of all pupils, ensuring good progress and personalised support.
Forest School: Outdoor Learning and Physical Development
Our recent addition of Forest School into the curriculum offers pupils unique opportunities to develop their physical and motor skills in an outdoor setting. Activities such as balancing, climbing, and sensory exploration support fine and gross motor development while reinforcing the benefits of leading a healthy lifestyle. These experiences also foster resilience and creativity, reflecting our school’s commitment to nurturing the whole child in God’s love.
Parental Support
We invite parents to engage with and support their children’s physical education journey at Bridge & Patrixbourne CEP School. Whether through attending sports events, encouraging active play at home, or participating in community activities, your involvement is invaluable in helping pupils embody our values and thrive.
