Intent

At Holy Family, PE inspires all pupils to develop a lifelong love of physical activity, promoting physical competence, confidence and well-being. Our curriculum is designed to ensure that every child develops the knowledge, skills and understanding needed to lead healthy, active lives and participate successfully in a wide range of physical activities.

Through a carefully sequenced curriculum from EYFS to Year 6, pupils build progressively on fundamental movement skills such as running, jumping, throwing and catching. These are developed into more complex skills and applied across a broad range of activities including athletics, gymnastics, dance, invasion games, net and wall games and striking and fielding. This ensures pupils develop agility, balance, coordination, strength and stamina over time.

Pupils are taught to understand how to improve their performance, work collaboratively and competitively, and apply tactics and strategies in different contexts. Opportunities to revisit and build on prior learning enable pupils to apply skills with increasing control, fluency and independence.

The curriculum is designed to be inclusive and ambitious for all learners, ensuring every child experiences success. Pupils develop resilience, teamwork, leadership and respect, while also learning about key sporting figures and opportunities beyond the classroom, broadening their cultural capital and understanding of sport in the wider world.
