Intent Statement

At Summerswood Primary School it is our aim to provide all children with high quality PE and sports provision.  We want all children to succeed and achieve their full potential, lead a physically active lifestyle, and make healthy life choices. To help achieve these goals we employ a full time specialist sports coach.

In order to raise attainment and accelerate progress in PE, we provide children with a wide range of physical activities that promote a healthy body and mind.  These include:

• Two PE lessons per week (including one session per week with a specialist sports coach)
• Whole school daily mile participation
• Nurture break for KS1 /KS2 (Healthy snack)

All children are assessed throughout the half term in the sport they are participating in.  Progress can therefore be monitored and progression/next steps can be planned. 

More information on the long term planning and progression mapping for PE can be found on the main curriculum page. 

In the Early Years, physical development is woven into the daily routine.  A variety of activities are available both indoors and outdoors for children to develop movement, handling of objects, understanding of own body, health and self-care.
