Intent

At Willington Primary School, we aim to inspire all children to develop a love of physical activity and sport. PE is fundamental to children’s learning and is an important part of school life and ultimately the children’s well-being. We strive to build a community of physically active children by providing a broad, balanced and inclusive PE curriculum that ensures all children are positively engaged. Through our delivery of the PE curriculum and sporting opportunities, we believe that we can support children in building the skills and mindset to leave primary school with the capabilities to be successful in their sporting challenges and active lifestyles at secondary school and beyond. Our PE curriculum roots in physical development in Reception, where it is one of the prime areas of development and continues through to Year 6. It includes a wide variety of physical activities: team games, individual games, gymnastics, dance, athletics, outdoor adventurous activities and swimming, alongside regular extracurricular provision and sport. Throughout each child’s school journey, we aim to encourage healthy competition and cooperative learning through an inclusive approach to teaching PE where children know more and do more.
