PE Curriculum
Curriculum Intent
At Wimborne First school and Nursery, the intention is that Physical Education (PE) is considered an essential part of education, which contributes to each child’s all-round healthy development. We aim to provide high quality enjoyable, challenging activities, within and beyond the school day, that enable children to become physically confident and competent, experience success and grow as fit and active young people. PE and sport provide clear opportunities for children to develop and practise the School values demonstrating safety and respect.
Our PE curriculum offers coherent, planned sequence of high-quality teaching that will equip pupils with knowledge and skills about fundamental movement skills, agility, balance, co-ordination whilst also having opportunities for engagement in competitive and co-operative physical activities. Through our vision statement of ‘Learning for Life’ we want to support our children in developing the values and skills to celebrate the success of others, as well as showing respect and humility whilst celebrating their own successes. We aim to foster confident, resilient children who will strive for their personal best.

Curriculum Implementation
At Wimborne First School, the PE lessons that are delivered encourage children to compete against themselves and others whilst being challenged to improve their social, emotional and cognitive skills. Due to our adoption of the Complete PE scheme, our PE curriculum covers the skills and knowledge outlined in the National Curriculum and ensures progression is well planned for enabling all children to be increasingly challenged as they move through the school. All children in Years 1-4 take part in a minimum of two hours of high-quality PE and sporting activities each week provided by their class teachers.
We provide a well-balanced programme of sporting activities for the children, these include; athletics, completive games, and outdoor and adventurous activities, as well as opportunities for expressive and creative movement through dance and gymnastics. We aim to promote an understanding of inter-personal relationships through co-operation and competition. Children take part in sporting activities within the school, and with other schools, including local and county tournaments and competitions. Physical Education is enriched through a wide range of well-attended after-school clubs and activities including martial arts, dance, dodgeball, football and forest school. Such opportunities enable pupils to develop personal and social skills as well as preparing them for leisure activities in adult life (cultural capital).
The objectives of teaching PE in our school are to enable children to:
- To develop competence to excel in a broad range of physical activities
1.1 Pupils will become increasingly co-ordinated and skilled through refining and controlling their actions, whilst also selecting and applying skills and tactics.
1.2 Pupils will improve their observational skills by describing and making judgements on their own and others work. They will then use these observations to improve their own performance.
- To become physically active for sustained periods of time
2.1 Pupils will develop an understanding of the effects of the exercise on the body, and an appreciation of the value of safe exercising.
- To engage in competitive sports and activities
3.1 Pupils develop the ability to work independently, and communicate with and respond positively towards others
- To lead healthy, active lives.
- To promote an understanding of safe practice, and develop a sense of responsibility towards their own and others’ safety and well-being

Impact:
Teachers and staff use their professional judgement to observe children over the period of each half term. They use assessment strands, which include demonstrating fundamental movements in isolation and also applying to sports and physical activities, to make a judgement based within age-related expectations, above or below at the end of each half-term. By the end of each key stage, pupils are expected to know, apply and understand the matters, skills and processes specified in the relevant programme of study.
