“Sport has literally changed my life. I’m here because of sport. It has given me a lot of confidence, a lot of courage, and a lot of discipline. It’s helped me to be the person that I’ve grown to be today.”
- Serena Williams
Intent:
At Ninfield, our aim is to deliver a high-quality PE curriculum, as well as offer a wide range of extra-curricular activities.
We believe that a rich and varied PE curriculum can improve attainment, attendance and behaviour. Physical activity not only improves health, reduces stress and improves concentration, but also promotes correct physical growth and development. Exercise has a positive influence on academic achievement, emotional stability and interaction with others.
By the time they leave Ninfield, children have the skills to participate in dance, gymnastics, athletics, swimming, games and Outdoor Adventurous Activities.
We focus on a key ability (Cog) each term that they will need in order to be successful, not just in PE and Sport but in everyday life and for life-long skills. This is through a scheme called Real PE. REAL PE helps support EVERY child to develop the physical literacy, emotional and thinking skills to achieve in PE, Sport and life.
The PE curriculum is designed to be a continuous cog so that the key abilities are revisited and developed through each lesson and each year.
Our PE curriculum encompasses the five key threads of our curriculum intent in the following ways:
Please see our Curriculum Overview for what the children will be learning during each key stage:
