PE
“Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.” Proverbs 22:6
Key Priorities in Whole School PE, School Sport and Healthy, Active Lifestyles:
All pupils leaving St Peter's RC Primary School (now and in future years) have had positive, memorable experiences in PE, sports and other physical activities. All pupils have been given the opportunity to be as physically active as they are able to be and have the physical competence, confidence, knowledge, skills and motivation necessary to equip them for a healthy, active lifestyle and lifelong enjoyment and participation in physical activity and/or sport.
PE Statement of Intent
We believe that primary school years are crucial to tackling obesity and physical inactivity. Regular physical activity is proven to reduce the risk of many long term conditions including heart disease, diabetes, cancer, anxiety, depression, dementia, arthritis and obesity. It also helps prevent hypertension, maintain healthy body weight and improves mental health, quality of life and well-being. At St Peter's, we encourage and give all our children the opportunity to take part in physical activity that is fun, rewarding and improves health and well-being. Following the National Curriculum 2014 and Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum, we aim 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.
Through sport, physical activity and PE we aim to enthuse, inspire and motivate all children to learn new skills whilst having lots of fun.
