'Be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His power.'

Ephesians 6:10

Every child an athlete. Every child a winner.

Fit for life.

Intent

At Guardian Angels’ we believe that offering a high-quality, physical education curriculum inspires our children to excel and succeed safely in a broad range of physically demanding activities.

We aim to provide a clear sequence with progression of declarative knowledge and procedural skills from Nursery – Year 6 which is revisited over time to embed for depth learning.

We inspire to support our children’s daily journey through health and fitness and provide them with opportunities to become physically competent and confident, for sustained periods of time.

It is our vision to engage our children in competitive sport and physical activities at all ability levels, regardless of their ethnic origin, gender, social background or SEND, to help build character and embed values such as good sportsmanship and respect, which will last beyond their primary years.

The national curriculum for physical education aims to ensure that all 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.

By the end of Year 6, we also wish for our children to have had the opportunity to:

· develop the interpersonal qualities of tolerance, patience, discipline, taking turns and perseverance and teamwork.

· develop competence and confidence in various physical activities via high quality teaching and assessment.

· develop an understanding of how to succeed in a range of physical activities and how to evaluate their own success.

· follow the conventions of fair play and honest competition.

· foster community links within local high schools, sporting associations and local primary schools
