Vision Statement for PE

Physical Education is recognised as an important part of the development of all children.  By providing high quality PE opportunities, both within the curriculum and out of school hours (OSH), all children should:

  • develop excellent fundamental movement skills
  • grow in self-esteem and confidence
  • value the importance of co-operation, teamwork and leadership
  • learn to appreciate the benefits of an active lifestyle in terms of the links between a healthy body and a healthy mind
  • encounter fun and challenge
  • deal effectively with competition
  • develop excellent social skills
  • appreciate the environment and the opportunities it provides for a wide range of activities
  • be equipped to make appropriate choices to lead an active and healthy lifestyle

High quality continuous professional development will be provided for all adults involved in the delivery of PE and will include the promotion of active playtimes, the embedding of short bursts of daily physical activity and the promotion of children as young leaders.
