P.E.
At Featherstone Academy, we aim to provide a PE curriculum that pupils from Nursery to Year 6 not only enjoy, but also allows them to have the knowledge of a range of activities that help them to develop their health, fitness and wellbeing and the skills to complete these competitively as well as for fun. Our PE curriculum will promote and embed values such as fairness and respect and give the children cultural capital to explore and discuss influential sports men and women from a variety of sports. The National Curriculum for PE aims to ensure that all pupils:
• Acquiring and Developing Skills (A&D)
• Selecting and applying skills, tactics and compositional ideas (S&A)
• Evaluating and improving performance (E&I)
• Knowledge and understanding of fitness and health (H&F)
PE will be taught weekly by every year group for an hour. Children will be given the chance to experience different sports across the year within the curriculum and learn different skills as well as the importance of keeping fit and healthy. They will also be given the opportunity to take part in sports and games at lunch and many after school clubs throughout the year. We now also have the opportunity to take children to many different sporting events too.
