Physical Education

At Percy Main Primary School we recognise the importance Physical Education (PE) plays in the curriculum and are committed to providing all children with opportunities to engage fully in Physical Education.

PE should provide opportunities for all pupils to become physically literate and confident in a way which also supports their health and fitness- both physically and mentally. Children should acquire not only physical skills, knowledge and understanding, but also the awareness and importance of leading healthy, active lives as well as the values of sportsmanship, fairness and respect through the sports and activities they undertake.

PE is an integral part of school practices allowing all children in the school to gain a sense of achievement and develop positive attitudes towards themselves and others. Teaching the children of the physical and mental benefits of physical activity aims to harbour a life-long love of exercise and sport.

The curriculum embraces the Statutory Orders of the National Curriculum and Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Guidance. It is inclusive and every pupil has equal access irrespective of their age, gender, cultural or ethnic background with inclusive opportunities for children with disabilities.
