At Henry Chadwick Primary School, we strive to ensure that PE is not just two lessons a week but an integral part of school life. We want to make it a part of the whole school day, where children are encouraged to move and enjoy what they are doing. We believe every level of physical education should be a safe, supportive environment for children, where they are allowed to experience new opportunities and freely express themselves. We use skills progression to help children learn the key skills of physical activity, as well as skills of collaboration, teamwork and developing their whole self, mind and body. Our ultimate goal is to ensure that children leave our school wanting to continue to be healthy and pursue their own sporting achievements, showing a determination to achieve their goals and a resilience to continue striving for them.

Implementation

• Children have two hours of high quality teaching in PE per week. Each lesson is linked to the national curriculum objectives and skills progression, set out in a fun and varied long term plan. The long term plan aims to cover a range of different subject areas, to give children as much opportunity to explore the sporting ambitions as possible.
• Within each lesson, there are set levels of differentiation and challenge is encouraged for all pupils, making sure each child can access any given topic and be challenged to progress within that lesson.
• We have established a ‘Sports Council’ of Year 5 and  6 children, who work with the PE lead to decide on enrichment and sporting opportunities.
• We always encourage as many children as possible to compete in local events in a range of different sports and activities, giving them the experience of competitive sport and the self-belief to undertake that challenge. 
• We participate in events with local schools and also across the trust primaries. 
• We provide swimming lessons for Year 3 and 4 children during the first two terms of the year, which allow them to develop key skills to be used in later life.
• Each class and each member of staff will also complete the Golden Mile during the afternoon. 
• Extra curricular sports clubs are also available at lunchtimes and after school during the week.

Impact

Children love sport and thoroughly enjoy PE. We have raised the profile across the school through high quality events and providing children with a brand new PE uniform, allowing PE to seamlessly become a part of everyday life. Children enjoy being healthy and there has been a rise in the number of children competing in extra-curricular sporting activities. They have a competitive nature that allows them the desire to succeed, yet have developed the resilience necessary to not abandon their ambitions at the first sign of failure. We want to continue to keep PE at the forefront of this school and ensure that children are moving- and enjoying doing so!
