The goal of physical education is to develop physically literate individuals who have the knowledge, skills and confidence to enjoy a lifetime of healthful physical activity.

 

At Pinkwell Primary School, in PE we would like our pupils from Early Years to Year 6 to:

• Be creative, energetic and enterprising
• Seize the opportunities offered by new knowledge and technologies to secure social, cultural, economic and environmental future for our country
• Continue to develop values, knowledge and competencies that will enable them to live full and satisfying lives
• Be confident, connected, actively involved and lifelong learners 

 

PE vision and principles

At Pinkwell our vision is to give children a PE curriculum which enables them to develop as physically literate individuals who have the knowledge, skills and confidence to enjoy a lifetime of healthful physical activity.
 

At Pinkwell, we believe that great PE occurs when children are able to:

• Be creative, energetic and enterprising
• Access opportunities offered by new knowledge and techniques to secure social, cultural and sporting well being
• Continue to develop sporting values and knowledge that will enable them to live full and satisfying lives
• Be confident, connected, actively involved and lifelong learners to develop a healthy mind and body

 

Physical activity not only improves health, reduces stress and improves concentration, but also promotes correct physical growth and development.  Exercise has a positive influence on academic achievement, emotional stability and interaction with others.  Therefore both teachers and children should be aware of its importance. We provide the broad and balanced programme of physical education we believe every child should have; with activities designed to be enjoyable, vigorous, purposeful and regular. Through providing positive experiences, a lifelong interest in physical activity is encouraged. The range of physical activities is wide and includes athletics, dance, games, gymnastics, swimming and outdoor education.
