PE
Curriculum Statement
At Rainford CE we understand that high-quality Physical Education is essential in inspiring and challenging us to lead healthy lives and develop a life-long love of sport and well-being. Knowledge and understanding of Physical Education not only enables us to make those positive life changes, in terms of improved health, but also develops values and transferrable life-skills such as fairness and respect which leads to the development of positive relationships within society.
Therefore, it is our intention at Rainford CE to build a curriculum that enables children to develop knowledge, skills and vocabulary in a broad range of sporting activities and competitions, whilst ensuring that the National Curriculum 2014 statements underpin everything that we teach.
Intent
Foster a school ethos where physical and mental well-being is valued and developed in a nurturing and supportive environment.
Promote, educate and engage all pupils in the importance of leading healthy and active lives.
Ensure that all pupils regardless of race, culture or ability have the same opportunities to develop competence to excel in a broad range of physical activities.
Create a community of pupils who relish the opportunity to engage in competitive sports and activities, regardless of their ability.
Foster a love of sustained physical activity in an environment where pupils encourage and support one another to be the best version on themselves.
Implementation
Our PE curriculum is taught through the PE Passport scheme, which is in line with the National Curriculum and a long-term map has been created from this, to ensure a clear progression of skills and knowledge is taught throughout the school. The scheme is used to aid teaching staff in their subject knowledge and delivery of the subject; however, teachers are positively encouraged to adjust and change lessons to suit the needs and abilities of their class.
