Physical Education (PE)
Love
At All Saints’ we aspire our children to be healthy and active by encouraging and developing a love of physical education. Our PE curriculum contributes to each child’s physical, cognitive, social and emotional development, as well as their spiritual, moral and cultural development. Our children learn that being active has the power to teach positive values and enrich lives.
Compassion
We strongly encourage children to recognise the strength in their own capabilities and in others’ and celebrate achievements both big and small. We aspire our children to display empathy towards their peers by showing good sportsmanship qualities at all times.
Koinonia
We encourage children to feel a part of a team as this enables them all to flourish as a family and to ensure everyone feels included and valued. We aim to educate how being active can build friendships, self-esteem and assemble a tight-knit community. We aim for the lessons learnt about teamwork in a sporting environment to translate to all walks of life.
Endurance
Our PE curriculum encourages children to demonstrate endurance when exploring the body’s capabilities. Allowing children to evaluate their active journey allows them to build a positive mindset and promotes progression. Although they may come across challenges, we teach children that challenges are a part of life’s journey and educate ways on how to promote perseverance. We encourage children to focus not just on the outcome but instead, the journey which led us to it.
At All Saints Church of England Primary School, our Physical Education (PE) curriculum is designed with a holistic approach, aiming to nurture the physical, social, and emotional well-being of our students. Our intent is not only to foster a love for physical activity but also to instil values that seamlessly integrate into everyday life, guided by the principles of our school’s ethos. Our PE curriculum prioritizes the development of fundamental movement skills, coordination, and physical fitness. Through a diverse range of activities, we seek to enhance each child’s physical capabilities, promoting a healthy and active lifestyle from an early age. We are committed to providing a PE department that is inclusive and celebrates diversity. Students will engage in activities that cater to different abilities and interests, fostering an environment where every child feels valued and encouraged to participate. Beyond physical skills, our PE curriculum places a strong emphasis on character development, constantly trying to mould our students into the best people they can be. Teamwork, resilience, and leadership are woven into our lessons, empowering students with essential life skills that extend far beyond the sports field. Aligned with the ethos of All Saints Church of England Primary School, our PE department integrates Christian and moral values into its teachings. Love, koinonia, endurance and compassion are integral components, creating an environment where students learn to appreciate the worth of every individual. Physical education at All Saints extends beyond the classroom, encouraging students to engage with the local community through sports events, charity initiatives, and collaborative projects. We believe in fostering a sense of responsibility and connection to the wider world. The PE department at All Saints aims to contribute to the development of well-rounded individuals. Our curriculum not only focuses on physical skills but also on the mental and emotional aspects of each child, promoting a sense of self-awareness and positive mental health. PE at All Saints Primary School is designed to go beyond the traditional boundaries of physical education. It is a key component in the holistic development of our students, imparting skills, values, and a genuine passion for a healthy, active, and socially responsible lifestyle.
