Welcome to another exciting year of sport ahead at Arnold Mill Primary School. Our vision as a school is to provide our pupils with the very best education in all aspects of learning and this is certainly the case within our pupils PE lessons.
Intent Statement:
The early years of a child’s life are central to their growth and development. This applies to their physical development as much as any other area. One of the greatest benefits of physical education (PE) is that it improves children’s physical and mental health at the same time.
Children who are involved in regular PE are much more likely to have better physical health when compared to those who don’t. We aim to offer a PE curriculum that ensures our children grow strong muscles and bones, with lots of opportunities for outdoor learning and physical activity such as: pushing, climbing, running and jumping. We encourage them to have at least an hour of vigorous physical activity every day through specific lessons, access to outdoor provision and active break-times to improve cardiovascular health and wellbeing.
We also know that PE also has the potential to greatly boost children’s memories, improve their concentration and support the development of positive mental health. Our PE curriculum encourages children to challenge themselves, improve their own performance and to work as a team in competitive sports; signposting them to outside agencies to nurture their development even further.
We want our children to discover a love for sports and talents at an early age and receive the support they need to develop them. If these talents are well taken care of many children will remain active, giving them a love of sporting activity into adulthood.
PE Curriculum - Skills Progression
We also offer an extensive range of after-school and lunchtime clubs, to further enhance their participation and enjoyment of sport.
Some pupils in KS2 apply and are successful in being given the opportunity to be an Arnold Mill Sports Leader. They receive training and support in the theory and practicalities of leading groups in sport. The ultimate aim of the group is for them to lead sessions to other pupils in school during breaks, lunch times, after-school and during PE lessons.
They are also a key part of our Intra-School compeitions and challenges. Planning and delivering a number of events throughout the year.
