Holy Trinity and St John's Church of England Primary School
Hope | Believe | Achieve
Our pupils receive one hour of curriculum PE per week throughout both EYFS and Key Stage 1 & 2. This is taught by Mr Williams, a qualified teacher and primary PE specialist.
We endeavour to provide all children with positive, inclusive and meaningful early experiences around physical activity that will help them to be physically confident and lead active, healthy lifestyles in and out of school.
Lessons are designed to encourage high levels of engagement and enjoyment for all children with a focus on the use of modified games and themes of learning instead of traditional blocks of sport specific activities.
Children take part in competitive sport in after school clubs and during regular participation in a range of fixtures, festivals and tournaments provided by the Thanet Primary Association for School Sport.
We use specially designed units of work called ‘learning themes’ that are linked to the PE National Curriculum. These are provided by our scheme of work partners ‘BEYOND THE PHYSICAL’.
Each Learning Theme is centred around three key words, which are the success criteria for the unit. For example: 'LOOK, RUN, AVOID'
Children will cover these learning themes with a focus on one key word for a minimum of two lessons and videos are shared with the children before each lesson to show what we are going to do.
