Intent

At Bevois Town Primary School, we aim to inspire all children to develop a love of physical activity and sport. We believe that our high-quality curriculum (delivered by a specialist sports coach) and our extra-curricular sport plays a vital role in the development of children into active, well-rounded citizens. Through good physical education, whole school values and a whole child approach, we aim to nurture confident, resilient children who will strive for their personal best and have a deep-rooted understanding of how to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Our aims for PE, reflect the aims of the national curriculum. 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.

All lessons are underpinned by a focus on S.T.E.P.S (Sportsmanship, Teamwork, Effort, Progress and Success). In doing so, we aim to ensure that our delivery of Physical Education and Physical Activity & School Sports  allows all children to have the skills and mindset to leave primary school with the capabilities of being successful in Sports at secondary school and beyond. Our curriculum is broad and well-balanced, including competitive sport, team games, individual sports, and outdoor and adventurous activities.
