INTENT - Our Curriculum Intent

At St Peter’s, we inspire children to develop a range of P.E skills for different purposes, while at the same time fostering a love for healthy competition and collaborative activities. PE lessons will instil British values such as mutual respect and fairness, alongside character building. Our curriculum provides all pupils with the knowledge, experience, and motivation to pursue physical and sports activities, that enable them to continue to develop as active learners. We aim to inspire children by encouraging them to seek enjoyment in physical activities. Subsequently, they will be able to build and maintain healthy habits and establish a positive relationship with exercise, a relationship that pupils will be keen to continue long into their education and years beyond.

IMPLEMENTATION – How We Will Deliver Our Curriculum

The PE curriculum at St. Peter’s encompasses a range of both indoor and outdoor learning opportunities to provide a varied programme of learning. We do this by firstly, ensuring that all children receive two PE lessons per week. These lessons involve a variety of carefully planned activities that allow all children to establish a positive relationship with movement and physical education. Our PE lessons are created to coincide with the provision outlined within the Get Set 4 PE programme. These lessons are carefully tailored to support the physical development of all pupils and their varying needs and abilities. From the age of Year 2, children make use of the nearby swimming facilities where they enjoy coach led swimming sessions that allow them to develop strength and stamina. Furthermore, we are keen to seek opportunities for pupils to utilise the skills they develop within their PE lessons beyond the school environment. This includes participation in sporting events and competitions within the borough, sports day events, the London mini-marathon and much more.

IMPACT – How We Will Evaluate Our Curriculum

At St Peter’s we focus on developing physical skills and teamwork, while promoting healthy competition and leadership. We foster confidence and encourage participation through a carefully curated curriculum that inspires all children, no matter where they are on their journey through school. Our ambitious curriculum challenges pupils to experience success in team sports, competitions and any physical activities they engage in. Our pupils have regular opportunities to exemplify their learning by partaking in a range of events and competitions both inside and outside of school. This participation is widely recognised and valued as we celebrate them and recognise their participation as part of our Healthy Schools Mission.
