PE Curriculum

Design:

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.

Delivery:

Physical Education (PE) is taught using Get Set 4 PE. Our children are introduced to a range of different sports that are revisited during different years, building on basic skills and allowing children to become confident and proficient. 

Swimming is taught in a 3 week block at the beginning of each year. Every year group will have the opportunity to swim, building to the National Curriculum expectations by the time they leave in Year 6. 

Alongside this, each year there is a Sports Week in Summer, where professional coaches are invited in and the children are exposed to daily opportunities for physical activity. Children at Micklem also have the fantastic opportunity to play as part of a team in various local competitions and tournaments and also a wide range of after school sports activities. 

Difference:

On leaving Micklem, all children will be competent in a range of physical activities and be able to be physically active for a sustained period of time. Children will have had the opportunity to take part in friendly competitions or tournaments. All children will have been provided with high-quality swimming lessons each year throughout the school.
