Subject Coordinator- Mrs Rachael Kay<\/strong><\/p>\n Intent<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n At Eastrington Primary School, our aim is to ensure all children enjoy and are engaged in Physical Education and Sport. Physical Education is an integral part of our curriculum involving and engaging all pupils. Children develop the knowledge, skills and competence to excel in a broad range of sports and physical activities that span a range of aspects including, Dance, Games, Gymnastics, OAA, Athletics and Swimming.<\/p>\n We deliver high-quality teaching and learning opportunities that enables all children to achieve their personal best through the Primary Steps in PE scheme which is adapted to meet the needs of our pupils. We aim for all children to be physically active for sustained periods of time and be able to make informed decisions in order to lead healthy and active lives.<\/p>\n Through Physical Education, we aim to develop the children\u2019s knowledge, skills and understanding so that they can perform with increasing confidence and competence in a range of physical activities. We aim to improve health and well-being, promote active participation and lifelong learning, and for each child to fulfil their potential. We aim to ensure that the children\u2019s experience of Physical Education is positive and motivating and that children\u2019s attitudes to a healthy lifestyle are firmly embedded in our curriculum.<\/p>\n Children participate in inter school sport via the Howden Sports Partnership. This partnership provides our pupils with the opportunity to build relationships with pupils from local primary schools. Through sport our pupils widen their friendship groups and begin the step of transition between primary and secondary school.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Implementation<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n At Eastrington Primary School, each child receives 2 hours of curriculum time PE on a weekly basis which is carefully planned to ensure a broad and full range of skills and activities are taught. Class teachers follow a clearly sequenced and progressive programme of study based on the National Curriculum objectives through the use of the Long Term and Short Term planning. Pupils in EYFS, KS1 and KS2 are given opportunities to develop their fundamental movement skills and extend their agility, balance and coordination. They engage in competitive and cooperative physical activities through games, dance and gymnastics.<\/p>\n Pupils in KS1 are taught how to:<\/p>\n \u2022 master basic movements including running, jumping, throwing and catching, as well as developing balance, agility and co-ordination, and begin to apply these in a range of activities Pupils in KS2 are taught how to:<\/p>\n \u2022 use running, jumping, throwing and catching in isolation and in combination Swimming is an important life skill, we aspire for all children to leave primary school being able to swim at least 25 metres \u2022 swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres In KS2, pupils continue to apply and develop a broader range of skills such as running, jumping, throwing and catching. These skills are incorporated into competitive games, performances using movement patterns and evaluations of their own and others\u2019 work. Pupils communicate and collaborate with each other and develop an understanding of how to improve in physical activities. There are many opportunities across the year for children to take part in inter and intra school competitions, as well as festivals, where children\u2019s successes in sports are celebrated. Children in Years 3 and 4 attend swimming lessons at the local swimming pool where they are taught to swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of 25m using a range of strokes. In addition to PE in curriculum time, we also strive to provide opportunities for children to access extracurricular physical activity through a wide range of sporting and active clubs such as: cycling, basketball, multi sports, running, dance, karate and football. We also encourage active playtimes through the use of playground leaders to ensure that we are giving children at our school the best possible chance of achieving the recommended 60 minutes of physical activity each day.<\/p>\n Outdoor and Adventurous (OAA)<\/strong> In Year 2, 3 and 4 pupils take part in a mini residential where pupils learn the high-ropes and engage in team building activities followed by a sleep over at school. This provides an invaluable opportunity for pupils to develop their self esteem and mental well-being along with putting into practice all of our school values.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n After School Clubs and Out of School Sport<\/strong><\/p>\n Extra-Curricular activities are provided across Key Stage One and Key Stage Two for pupils to develop a love and interest in a particular sporting activity. The subject coordinator seeks specialist coaches to provide extra-curricular tuition throughout the year. Pupils are signposted to local clubs to further develop their interest, enjoyment and skill for a particular sport. Successes from out of school sporting achievements are celebrated amongst our whole school community.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Impact<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n At Eastrington Primary School, we ensure that our PE curriculum is progressive and allows children to develop fundamental skills and apply them to a variety of sports and activities. All children are provided with the skills and given opportunities to demonstrate improvement to achieve their personal best. Our pupils are physically active and this has positive implications on their learning in the classroom. Children understand how to lead a healthy lifestyle and understand the importance of exercise and through PE and Sport, pupils discover new interests and talents. We hope children enjoy PE and develop a love of sport and physical activity, that they pursue outside of school and in future life outside of primary school.<\/p>\n All pupils understand the values and importance of fair play and being a good sportsperson. Pupils demonstrate a love and appreciation for PE and are confident to demonstrate their skills. The outcomes for pupils at the end of each Key Stage is in line with or above the National Average expectation and progress in PE is evident.<\/p>\n School Games Award<\/strong>![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.eastringtonprimaryschool.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Physical-Education-01.jpg\")

\nThe School Games Mark is a government-led awards scheme launched in 2012 to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community. Participating in this process allows schools to evaluate their PE provision and assists them in developing an action plan for future progress. We currently hold the Silver Award for our School Games Mark.<\/p>\n
