P.E.
Physical education is paramount to developing healthy, happy and well-rounded young people. At Collierley Primary and Nursery School, physical education, physical literacy and sport is at the centre of how we develop well-rounded young people.
“A positive experience of sport and physical activity at a young age can build a lifetime habit of participation and is central to meeting the government’s ambition for a world class education system. Physical literacy (building physical competency alongside confidence, enjoyment knowledge and understanding) and high quality, modern physical education (PE) lessons that engage boys and girls of different backgrounds and abilities should be a fundamental part of every child’s school experience.” – Department for Education, School Sport and Activity Action Plan, July 2019
Intent
At Collierley Primary and Nursery School, we provide children with rigorous, consistent, weekly physical education lessons thereby ensuring children are physically literate and well developed in their fine and gross motor skills, coordination and fitness.
We aim to provide a range of opportunities for children to engage in physical activitiy through a selection of sports and experiences, throughout the academic year.
We will promote competition through team games and our inter-house sport competitions. as well as developing a personal goal of building resilience.
Implementation
Across the academic year, children will have access to a wide range of opportunities to promote a healthy and active lifestyle.
-
Golden Mile- children have access to the Golden Mile outside.
-
Merton PE Scheme- all staff follow the scheme of Merton, which provides a strong foundation for development of physical skills through carefully planned and well progressed lessons.
-
Inter/Intra school sports competitions- Every half term, children will participate on at least one inter- house sports event within school, whereby they compete within thei allocated house teams and work together to achieve points- also building on ther skills of resilience and sportsmanship.
-
Swimming (Y3 upwards)- All children in KS2 access swimming lessons for the term.
-
Outward bound residential trips (Y6 and Y4)
-
Forest Schools- Each class across the school from EYFS to Year 6 are allocated a halft erm to visit Forest School.
Impact
Through the high quality teaching of Physical Education taking place, we will see the impact of this in a range of ways:

-Children will have better knowledge about the importance of a healthy diet and active lifestyle.
-Children will be more enthusiastic and show more engagement to participate in different sporting activities.
