Why do we learn physical education?

At Ayrton we believe a child, who is successful in PE will:

  • know how to lead a healthy and active life.
  • have the skills and knowledge to be competent in a wide range of physical activities.
  • be physically active every day.
  • have the skills to keep themselves safe in water.
  • take part in sporting competitions.
  • work well as part of a team, understanding how to play fairly and cooperate with others.
  • develop a life-long love of physical activity.

Our approach

Implementation

Our PE curriculum:

  • is taught twice weekly by the class teacher, covering a wide range of physical activities.
  • is differentiated to be accessible for all children, including children with SEND.
  • children are given opportunities at break and lunch time to take part in a range of physically active games and activities.
  • children in Years 5 and 6 are taught to swim and keep themselves safe in water.
  • children are given the opportunity, and are encouraged, to take part in a range of after-school activities, where they can play competitively against other teams.
  • Year 6 children are given the chance to become Sports Leaders, supporting teachers and leading lunchtime activities.

Impact

Through our PE curriculum, children will:

  • take part in a wide range of physical activity.
  • have the fundamental skills to play an active role in physical activities.
  • understand how to live healthy lifestyle and understand the importance of regular exercise.
  • will understand the important of fair play and being a good sportsperson.

Sports Day!

This year Sports Day for Years 1-6 took place at the HMS Temeraire playing fields. Although a bit windy, the rain held off and the children did the school proud by playing fair and embodying Ayrton's key characteristics for the afternoon's events. A big thank you to all the parents who came to support the children.
