PESSPA - Physical Education, School Sport and Physical Activity

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. 

KEY STAGE 1 AND 2

All lessons are supported by the STEP principle approach to providing appropriate levels of challenge for the children. See below image for more detail on this approach:
