Physical Education

At Weston Point Primary Academy, we believe Physical Education is essential to pupils' physical health, emotional wellbeing and personal development. Our ambition is for every child to enjoy being active, develop confidence in their physical abilities and understand the importance of maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle. We have high expectations for participation and want every pupil to experience success within PE, regardless of their starting point or previous sporting experience.

We use the Oak National Academy Physical Education curriculum to support a broad, coherent and progressive PE offer. Learning develops pupils' movement competence and physical fitness alongside their understanding of tactics, strategies, rules and healthy participation. Pupils experience a broad range of physical activities through which they can develop coordination, agility, balance and control as well as teamwork, leadership, resilience, communication and decision-making. Skills and knowledge are deliberately revisited so that children have opportunities to practise, refine and apply what they have learned.

At Weston Point, our commitment to PE extends beyond curriculum lessons. We aim to provide pupils with opportunities to participate in clubs, competitions, festivals and wider sporting experiences so that children can discover activities they enjoy and develop positive attitudes towards physical activity. Competition is used positively, teaching children how to succeed with humility, respond appropriately to setbacks and support others. Through our commitment to Strive for Excellence, we want pupils to leave Weston Point physically confident, motivated to remain active and equipped with the values of teamwork, perseverance and respect that sport can help develop.
