PE

At Horton Park Primary School we believe in giving every child the physical literacy, emotional and thinking skills to achieve in PE, sports and life. We implement the REAL PE scheme, a unique, child centred approach to include challenge and support for every child. The key areas are aligned with the National Curriculum focussing on development of agility, balance and coordination, healthy competition and cooperative learning.

Creating positive early experiences helps to form our pupils’ perceptions of physical activity and builds their confidence, resilience and relationship with it. Children are taught subject specific vocabulary and learn to talk about physical education, expressing their likes and dislikes. Children express their thoughts and opinions on their own work and the work of others.

Across school, pupils take part in competitions and tournaments. Our children develop emotional and physical security needed to become resilient individuals who are able to take risks and deal with different challenges across the curriculum and in the wider world by thinking positively and having the confidence to ‘have a go’. Our PE curriculum promotes the value of sportsmanship which is echoed across the curriculum.
