Physical Education

Football

We are lucky enough to have formed a Year 5 and 6 football team who are in a league against local other schools. You will find the scores updated on this page.

Sport events

As a School, we're keen to provide an opportunity where children can experience a range of sports in both a competitive and non- competitive environment within the local community. In the document below, you'll find all the exciting sports events that we have coming up this term and for the rest of the year.

Curriculum

In Reception the children will participate in PE lessons following the requirements stated in the EYFS. 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.

Aims

To develop physical competence, stamina and strength;
To develop an appreciation of the value of participation in sustained physical activity;
To develop the concepts of fair play, team work and good sportsmanship;
To gain satisfaction and pleasure from physical activity;
To develop the skills necessary to be able to plan, perform and evaluate physical performance;
To teach children an awareness of safe practice through physical education.
To engage in competitive sports and activities
To lead healthy active lives

Teaching and Learning

Our planning is based on the National Curriculum 2014 and carefully tailored to maximise our resources, expertise and the needs of our children.

In the Early years and KS1 aims will be achieved through dance, multi-skills and gymnastics activities. At KS2 pupils continue to apply and develop a range of skills and units of work include a range of invasion, net / wall, and fielding and striking games, gymnastics, dance, athletics and swimming. We also enrich children’s experiences through opportunities for outdoor and adventurous activities. All children in KS1 will experience two sessions of PE per week totalling two hours. Children in KS2 will have 2 PE sessions a week totalling two hours. Our main learning is planned using the scheme GetSet4PE which ensures that all skills are covered and developed through their time here at Lyne and Longcross.
