Subject Vision:

At Cooper and Jordan Primary School we believe all children should have access to a high quality Physical Education (PE) curriculum and PE should be an integral part of the whole school curriculum. Our School recognises the benefits high quality PE provision and school sport can give to all pupils.

Our PE curriculum aims to ensure that all pupils develop physical literacy and the fundamental knowledge, understanding and skills to excel in a wide range of physical activities, by providing a broad & balanced curriculum with opportunities for all.

Our PE curriculum will contribute to healthy and active lifestyles; improve emotional well-being, reduce challenging behaviour, increase attendance and develop key skills such as leadership, confidence, social and team building skills.

‘High quality PE and school sport produces young people with the skills, understanding, desire and commitment to continue to improve and achieve in a range of PE, sport and health-enhancing physical activities in line with their abilities’ (DCMS Learning through PE & Sport).

 

National Curriculum for PE

EYFS:

In the Early Years Foundation Stage, we teach PE through the Physical Development strand of the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework. On-going PE experiences and opportunities are planned for from the objectives set out in the Framework, which underpin the curriculum planning for children aged 3-5 at Cooper and Jordan Primary School. The experiences that we provide ensure that the children enjoy good level of physical development and by the end of the Reception year, they will be able to:

ELG: Gross Motor Skills

• Negotiate space and obstacles safely, with consideration for themselves and others;
• Demonstrate strength, balance and coordination when playing;
• Move energetically, such as running, jumping, dancing, hopping, skipping and climbing.

Key stage 1

Pupils should develop fundamental movement skills, become increasingly competent and confident and access a broad range of opportunities to extend their agility, balance and coordination, individually and with others. They should be able to engage in competitive (both against self and against others) and co-operative physical activities, in a range of increasingly challenging situations.

Pupils should be taught to:

Master basic movements including running, jumping, throwing and catching, as well as developing balance, agility and co-ordination, and begin to apply these in a range of activities participate in team games, developing simple tactics for attacking and defending perform dances using simple movement patterns.

Key stage 2

Pupils should continue to apply and develop a broader range of skills, learning how to use them in different ways and to link them to make actions and sequences of movement. They should enjoy communicating, collaborating and competing with each other. They should develop an understanding of how to improve in different physical activities and sports and learn how to evaluate and recognise their own success.

Pupils should be taught to:

Use running, jumping, throwing and catching in isolation and in combination, play competitive games, modified where appropriate [for example, badminton, basketball, cricket, football, hockey, netball, rounder’s and tennis], and apply basic principles suitable for attacking and defending, develop flexibility, strength, technique, control and balance [for example, through athletics and gymnastics]perform dances using a range of movement patterns, take part in outdoor and adventurous activity challenges both individually and within a team, compare their performances with previous ones and demonstrate improvement to achieve their personal best.

 

Overarching Statements

Physical Education

Physical education provides learners with a platform from which they can build physical competences, improve aspects of fitness, and develop personal and interpersonal skills and attributes. It enables learners to develop the concepts and skills necessary for participation in a wide range of physical activity, sport, dance and outdoor learning, and enhances their physical wellbeing in preparation for leading a fulfilling, active and healthy lifestyle.

They encounter a variety of practical learning experiences, including working on their own, with a partner and in small and large groups, and using small and large equipment and apparatus, both outdoors and indoors.

Learning in, through and about physical education is enhanced by participating on a regular basis in a wide range of purposeful, challenging, progressive and enjoyable physical activities with choice built in for all learners.

Physical Activity and Sport

In addition to planned physical education sessions, physical activity and sport take place in the classroom, in the school, during travel such as walking and cycling, in the outdoor environment and in the community. Learning in, through and about physical activity and sport is enhanced by participating in a wide range of purposeful and enjoyable physical pursuits at break times, lunchtimes, within and beyond the place of learning.

The experiences and outcomes are intended to establish a pattern of daily physical activity which, research has shown, is most likely to lead to sustained physical activity in adult life. Experiences and outcomes should also open up opportunities for learners to participate and perform in sport and, lead a physical lifestyle.

Physical Activity and Health

Learners develop an understanding of their physical health and the contribution made by participation in physical education, physical activity and sport to keeping them healthy and preparing them for life beyond school. They investigate the relationship between diet and physical activity and their role in the prevention of obesity.

The experiences and outcomes are intended to establish a pattern of daily physical activity which, research has shown, is most likely to lead to sustained physical activity in adult life. Physical activity and sport take place in addition to planned physical education sessions, at break times and lunchtimes in and beyond the place of learning.

Pupils will be taught to:

• Swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres
• Use a range of strokes effectively
• Perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situation

 

Assessment in PE

At Cooper and Jordan assessing is an integral part of our children’s development, so that all children can make good progress. When assessing we make informal judgements about ability, knowledge, application, understanding and attitudes. 

Assessment is used to:

• Determine and monitor pupils progress and level of achievement
• Feedback the information to pupils
• Enable the setting of appropriate individual targets
• Plan learning
• Evaluate whether the objectives of the lesson are being met
• Give feedback to parents through discussion
• Give feedback to parents formally in a report
• Determine a level of achievement to pass onto secondary schools

Our approach to assessing in PE is also used to help children improve their own performance and also to celebrate their success and achievement. Assessment helps our staff when planning the learning of individuals, planning the learning objectives and expected learning outcomes for each unit and allows continued progress in lessons.

 

Educational Visits and Enrichment

At Cooper and Jordan we use part of our Sports Premium Funding to pay into the Streetly Network. Each year we have a competition calendar which promotes different levels of competition and inclusion, to allow opportunity for all our children to experience competition.  These levels include Inspire, Engage and Compete. We attend an array of different competitions annually, many of these are linked to the Black Country School Games. Our children have the opportunity to compete against other schools and if successful, progress onto level 2 and 3 competitions.  We also compete in football leagues for both boys and girls from year 3 to 6.
