Physical Education
Statement of Intent
At Barley Mow Primary we all recognise the importance of raising sporting achievement and performance in order to improve the health and wellbeing of all our pupils. Our intent is to deliver a high- quality PE curriculum, as well as offer a wide range of extra- curricular activities.
We believe that a rich and varied PE curriculum can improve attainment, attendance and behaviour. In addition, we want to inspire a love of sport in order to raise the level of physical activity of our pupils outside of school. Through our PE provision we aim to develop the skills and attitudes needed for every child to enjoy the physical and social benefits of lifelong participation in physical activity and healthy living.
Our school bases the core work in PE around the National Curriculum which aims to ensure that all pupils:
- Develop competence to excel in a broad range of physical activities.
- Are physically active for sustained periods of time.
- Engage in competitive sports and activities.
- Lead healthy, active lives.
Due to various coaching and outside agencies working with our pupils throughout the year some of the activities listed on the long term plan may vary.
