PE Curriculum Overview
PE can challenge and promote self-esteem through the development of physical confidence and problem solving. It can teach children to cope with both success and failure in competitive, individual and team based physical activities. At St John’s, we strive to create a culture which aims to inspire an active generation to enjoy PE, encourage each other and achieve. We provide a safe and supportive environment for children to flourish in a range of different physical activities which is essential in supporting their physical, emotional, social and moral development. PE at St John’s also aims to develop a fun, high-quality physical education curriculum that inspires all pupils to succeed and excel individual’s abilities in competitive sports and other physically-demanding activities as well as acting gracefully in victory or defeat. We will provide opportunities for pupils to become physically confident in a way which supports their health and fitness. Our children will have opportunities to compete in sport and other activities that build character and help to embed values such as fairness and respect. PE at St John’s is an imperative element of the curriculum, which develops a need for healthy life styles, a balanced diet, positive growth mind-set and the resilience to persevere with activities that may be once have felt too difficult. We are passionate about the need to teach children how to cooperate and collaborate with others, as part of a team, understanding fairness and equity of play to embed life-long values.
Equality and Diversity
Through PE and Sport we aim to provide children with a range of role models, free from discrimination regarding gender, race, faith or disability. All children are actively involved in PE lessons and by using the STEP (space/time/equipment/people) methods of support, all children are able to work towards lesson objectives.
Access for All
All children are actively involved in PE. We use the STEP principles (space, time, equipment, people) to scaffold and support children to allow them to fully take part in lessons. More able children are given further challenges to move their learning on. If children are unable to physically take part in a lesson, they are given other tasks, such as observation, support and feeding back to their peers. Other adults are used to support children when needed.
Spirituality
Spirituality is important to us at St John's as we aim to implement our school values when taking part in PE by demonstrating our Christian values through sport. We use a variety of resources including audio visual, texts, visits and visitors to enable pupils to understand the world they live in and to reflect on their own identity as well as that of others. A sense of awe and wonder is developed through sport and a celebration for that which enriches the world for all.
