PE at Ingleby Mill Primary School

In our school, we endeavour to introduce pupils to a variety of physical activities. Our curriculum aims to improve the well-being and fitness of all children, not only through the sporting skills taught, but through the underpinning values and disciplines PE promotes.  Pupils will develop fundamental movement skills which will enhance their ability to participate in physical activity and improve their physical confidence.
Our curriculum is appropriately sequenced, ensuring that all children are given the opportunities to expand on prior learning as they develop through the key stages. We also aim to inspire our pupils to succeed and excel in competitive sport and other physically demanding activities that will help with their health and fitness.
We also believe that a good Physical Education curriculum has the capacity to extend a child’s emotional, intellectual, moral, spiritual and personal development and particularly their self-esteem to enable them to reach their full potential.
Through PE we aim for children to:
become skilful and intelligent performers;
acquire and develop skills, performing with increasing physical competence and confidence, in a range of physical activities and contexts;
learn how to select and apply skills, tactics and compositional ideas to suit activities that need different approaches and ways of thinking;
develop their ideas in a creative way;
set targets for themselves and compete against others, individually and as team members;
understand what it takes to persevere, succeed and acknowledge others’ success;
take the initiative, lead activity and focus on improving aspects of their own performance;
discover their own aptitudes and preferences for different activities
make informed decisions about the importance of exercise in their lives
and finally have fun!

VALUES – Across all areas of learning we value:
Happiness – when we enjoy what we are doing, we learn at our best
Confidence – when we have confidence, we will always ‘have a go’
Creativity – when our creativity is developed, we can think and learn in imaginative ways
Perseverance – when we are encouraged to keep going, even when the going gets tough, we develop resilience, positive outlooks and self-belief
Respect – when we are respectful, we see things through the eyes of others
