Physical Education

Intent

 

At Coldfair Green Primary School we are committed to providing an inclusive, exciting and engaging Physical Education Curriculum which inspires all pupils to have the confidence to try a range of sporting activities. Our goal is that throughout school children build a positive relationship and attitude towards physical activity both in and outside of school and, have a secure understanding of the importance of a healthy lifestyle and being active. We aim to broaden our pupils’ knowledge, skills and understanding of maintaining a healthy lifestyle through our Physical Education curriculum, which is supported by the scheme, Premier Education. Pupils will have the opportunity to develop a wide range of skills, many fundamental to children’s development, and others more sport focused. Curriculum and lesson design is fully inclusive and accessible means that all pupils can feel, and ultimately, be successful.
