PE at Park

At Park, we have designed our history curriculum to:

• Meet the requirements of the National Curriculum and Early Years Framework

• Be rich in knowledge that is meaningfully connected to what children already know

• Build a strong understanding of big ideas such as leadership and power over their time at Park

• Develop empathetic citizens of now and the future, equipped and empowered to make a difference in an ever-changing world

• Build children’s fitness and understanding of how to live a life with a healthy body and mind

To achieve these aims, our subject leader has planned what will be taught in each year group and set this out in a long-term plan. Our PE long-term plan at Park is below.

Our PE subject leader has carefully planned out our PE curriculum to meet the requirements of the National Curriculum and to ensure your child returns to different sports and activites whilst learning more sophisticated skills on each return. The progression of PE skills planned into our curriculum can be found below. PE skills are developed year on year through your child’s PE curriculum.

Your child’s class teacher plans the PE lessons from this document, considering how the lesson can be adapted for individual pupil needs so that all children are able to access the same content. 

We have a wide range of after school sports clubs and also take part in inter-school sports competitions.

To be sure that our curriculum is working for your child, we regularly check whether they have gained the knowledge set out in our PE curriculum.  Within lessons, we set up short activities to check what they have understood and remembered.  Where children show they have not understood or remembered some key learning, we will make adaptations for them within the lesson and change our planning for future lessons to address this and help them remember more.

At the end of the unit, we check whether children have remembered all of the key learning for the unit.  We make a summary judgement as to whether they have met Park’s expectations and learned what we expect them to.  We will inform you of your child’s PE attainment in their end of year report.  We will also let their next teacher know, so that they can plan to meet your child’s needs in the next class.

Our PE subject leader and senior leadership team regularly review the assessments made in PE and visit their lessons to check whether our curriculum is working to help your child master key historical understanding.  We use this to reflect on what has been taught, how it has been taught and make further improvements to our curriculum.
