At Bridge & Patrixbourne CEP School we aim to develop children who are able to:
-
develop competence to excel in a broad range of physical activities.
-
understand the benefits of leading a healthy and active lifestyle.
-
enjoy being physically active.
-
have equal opportunity to represent the school in a competitive sport.
This is achieved through a carefully thought out and clearly structured PE curriculum which encompasses the School Games Values of determination, honesty, respect, passion, team work and self-belief. We strongly believe these skills are essential for life and are therefore integral to the planning and delivery of PE here. We specifically include a range of interesting sports across our PE curriculum, carefully comprised of Invasion Games, Net & Wall sports, striking & fielding sports, Gymnastics & Dance and Swimming. This breadth sparks enthusiasm and excitement which engages all pupils at every point of their primary PE education.
We have excellent community links with a variety local sports clubs who we work closely with to enhance gifted and talented pupil opportunities. Furthermore, the use of specialist teachers and coaches supports staff in the delivery of high-quality PE lessons which enable all pupils to make good progress within lessons.
We have recently incorporated Forest School into our curriculum, offering the children unique and exciting opportunities in which they can develop their physical skills and motor skills, whilst also learning about leading a healthy lifestyle. Many of our Forest School activities will help to improve the children’s fine and gross motor skills. Outdoor activities will also focus on a variety of other physical skills such as balancing, climbing and sensory skills.
