PE Funding

Physical Education Curriculum at Our Lady of Grace Catholic Academy

 

Intent

At Our Lady of Grace the aim of P.E is to inspire our children to love living a healthy life. We want our children to develop a deep knowledge and a range of skills, enabling them to sustain and enjoy a positive, active lifestyle.

P.E. Funding 2024.25

Implementation

All children at Our Lady of Grace will benefit from a broad, deep and progressive P.E curriculum.

Action Plan

In the early years our children will start to develop the FUNdamentals of movement whilst participating in lessons with a theme which mirrors their classroom topic. This enables the children to develop their physical literacy whilst embedding the learning achieved in the classroom.

In KS1 the Physical Education curriculum changes to an activity specific focus. Children learn how the body changes during exercise whilst further developing the FUNdamentals of movement (Jog, Sprint, Jump, Hop, Weight on Hands, Balance & Co-ordination). Through the effective teaching of Physical Education, a quality and varied extra-curricular offer and structured play during lunch times, children will be competent in the FUNdamentals of movement at the completion of Key Stage 1.

In KS2 P.E becomes both broad and deep, our children develop their physical and mental capacity through a variety of ‘vehicles’, FUNdamentals movements are refined into topic specific actions and our pupils begin to learn how to analyse their own performance. All teaching staff receive regular training and 1 to 1 CPD with the Collegiate P.E Specialist Mr. Sigley, addressing staff weaknesses and broadening the curriculum for every class.

 

Impact 

Children at Our Lady of Grace will develop a broad range of skills in a variety of activities. A deep understanding of how the human body works and the importance of exercise and hopefully find at least one form of physical activity that they love and will pursue for the rest of their life.
