PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Intent
North Tawton Community Primary School and Nursery believes that Physical Education (PE), experienced in a safe and supportive environment, is essential to ensure children attain optimum physical and emotional development and good health.  We  intend  to  deliver  high-quality  teaching  and  learning  opportunities  that  inspire  all children to succeed in physical education and in developing life skills. We want to teach children skills to keep them safe such as being able to swim.  We also want to teach children how to cooperate and collaborate with others as part of an effective team, understanding fairness and equity of play to embed life-long values. Our curriculum aims to improve the wellbeing and fitness of all children at North Tawton, not only through the sporting skills taught, but also through the underpinning values and disciplines PE promotes.
 
Implementation

• PE at North Tawton Community Primary School and Nursery provides challenging and enjoyable     learning through a range of  sporting  activities  including;  invasion  games,  net  &  wall  games,  strike  and  field  games, gymnastics, dance, swimming and outdoor & adventure.
• The long-term plan sets out the PE units, which are to be taught throughout the year, and ensures that the requirements of the National Curriculum are fully met.
• Pupils participate in two high quality PE lessons each week, covering two sporting disciplines every half term. In addition, children are encouraged to participate in the varied range of extra- curricular activities. Children can attend after school sport clubs.
• Children  are  invited  to  attend  competitive  sporting  events  within  the  local  area.  This is an inclusive approach, which endeavours to encourage not only physical development but also mental well-being. These events also develop teamwork and leadership skills and are very much enjoyed by the children.
• Each year a small group of Year 6 children are invited to become Young Sports Leaders for the school.
• They develop into sporting role models for the younger children, assisting with lunchtime active play, our annual Sports day and any other Sporting activities.
• Children participate in workshops covering a variety of sports throughout the year. For example
• Tag Rugby,  outdoor  and  adventure and  skipping, again  providing  the  children  with  an opportunity to develop, improve their fitness and to try something new.
• Children in Year 6 swim once a week for 10 weeks during the Summer Term.  We will expand this to two year groups.
• We are soon to launch the “Daily Mile”, to help meet the government target of all children being
• active for at least 60 minutes a day.

 
Impact
We help motivate children to participate in a variety of sports through quality teaching that is engaging and fun. From our lessons, our children learn to take responsibility for their own health and fitness, many of whom enjoy the success of competitive sports. We equip our children with the necessary skills and a love for sport, which will transpire to be tools and life skills to be happy, healthy and successful whilst honing a healthy sense of competition, in preparation for life beyond school.
