Physical Education (PE) Overview
At Huncote Primary School, we believe that Physical Education is an essential part of every child’s development. Our PE curriculum is designed to inspire pupils to lead active, healthy lifestyles while developing confidence, resilience, teamwork and a lifelong enjoyment of physical activity. We aim to create a positive culture around sport and exercise, encouraging all children to participate, challenge themselves and achieve their personal best.
Using the Get Set 4 PE curriculum as the foundation for our long-term planning, pupils develop a broad range of physical skills through carefully sequenced lessons that build progressively from Year 1 to Year 6. Children engage in a variety of activities including games, gymnastics, dance, athletics and outdoor and adventurous activities, developing their agility, balance, coordination and sporting competence as they move through the school.
We are committed to providing an inclusive PE curriculum where every child can experience success. Pupils learn the importance of teamwork, cooperation, determination and good sportsmanship while developing confidence in both competitive and non-competitive environments. Opportunities for self-reflection and evaluation help children understand how they can improve their performance and support others in theirs.
PE at Huncote extends beyond the classroom through a wide range of sporting clubs, competitions, festivals and enrichment opportunities throughout the year. These experiences allow pupils to represent the school, try new activities, develop new talents and foster a love of being active. Swimming lessons form an important part of our curriculum, helping children develop water confidence and essential life-saving skills.
By the end of Year 6, pupils leave Huncote Primary School with the knowledge, skills and motivation to lead healthy, active lifestyles. They understand the physical and mental benefits of exercise, demonstrate positive sporting values and have the confidence to participate in a wide range of physical activities both in and beyond school.
