PE

At Middleforth C of E Primary School, we understand the impact that physical activity can have on the mental, emotional, social and physical wellbeing of a person.

Therefore, in Physical Education, we aim to provide high-quality lessons that inspire all children, including the least active, to succeed and excel. Through this, it is our intention to help develop their physical health and fitness, as well as a growing understanding of the benefits of an active lifestyle. We long to nurture every child in order for them to develop their character, have a love for physical activity and an enjoyment of an active lifestyle, both now and into the future.

Physical Education will develop pupil’s physical competence, confidence and resilience through a combination of entitlement and choice of activity. Physical education provides pupils with the opportunity to be creative, competitive and face up to different challenges as individuals and in groups and teams. It promotes positive attitudes towards a healthy and active lifestyle. Pupils learn how to think in different ways and make decisions in response to creative, competitive and challenging activities. They learn how to reflect on their performance, plan, perform and evaluate actions, ideas and performances to improve the quality of their work.

Through high quality physical education pupils discover their aptitudes, abilities and preferences and make informed choices about how to get involved in lifelong physical activity.
