Physical Education

 

Physical Education - "Promoting a love for physical activity and maintaining healthy, active lives."

 

Subject Intent

PE sessions at Bolsover allow every child to develop their professional and social skills as well as their physical skills.

 The three main categories of fundamental movement are: Agility, Balance and Coordination. The curriculum endorses creativity, collaboration and effort whilst simultaneously promoting the physical and social development of each and every child in group, partnered and paired learning.

It is our aim to offer opportunities to develop physical skills of all children as well as harbouring a life-long love of physical activity. Physical education at Bolsover inspires children to realise their full potential in sport, ensuring that children of all abilities access physical activity and sustain healthy, active lives.

At Bolsover we want every pupil to feel as though they are a member of a team, believe in their ability and potential and become as physically, socially and emotionally fit as they can be.

It is our wish that all Bolsover students will embrace these skills and transfer them across the curriculum as well as instilling determination and resilience within school, the community and the wider world.

The National Curriculum

The National Curriculum for PE states: A high-quality physical education curriculum inspires all pupils to succeed and excel in competitive sport and other physically-demanding activities. It should provide opportunities for pupils to become physically confident in a way which supports their health and fitness. Opportunities to compete in sport and other activities build character and help to embed values such as fairness and respect.

 

Aims

The national curriculum for physical education 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

 

Key stage 2

Pupils should continue to apply and develop a broader range of skills, learning how to use them in different ways and to link them to make actions and sequences of movement. They should enjoy communicating, collaborating and competing with each other. They should develop an understanding of how to improve in different physical activities and sports and learn how to evaluate and recognise their own success.

 

Pupils should be taught to:
‚ use running, jumping, throwing and catching in isolation and in combination
‚ play competitive games, modified where appropriate [for example, badminton,
basketball, cricket, football, hockey, netball, rounders and tennis], and apply basic
principles suitable for attacking and defending
‚ develop flexibility, strength, technique, control and balance [for example, through
athletics and gymnastics]
‚ perform dances using a range of movement patterns
‚ take part in outdoor and adventurous activity challenges both individually and within a
team
‚ compare their performances with previous ones and demonstrate improvement to
achieve their personal best.

Assessment in PE 

Assessment of pupil progress in PE aims to assist pupils in understanding their own progress, aid teachers with their planning, as well as informing the school’s monitoring of progression and attainment. Therefore, children will have opportunities to  assess their work in accordance with the school’s policy for self-assessment. This will accompany teachers' assessment through observations and feedback highlighted in the school's policy. This will include the ongoing assessment of independent work. Teachers should ensure that children strive to meet the skills, whilst also building up their knowledge and understanding of PE, inclusive of knowledge of unplugged learning and key vocabulary.
