Aims

“Physical Education develops pupils’ physical competence and confidence, and their ability to use these to perform in a range of activities. It promotes physical skillfullness, development and knowledge of the body part in action. Physical education provides opportunities for pupils to be creative, competitive and to face up to different challenges as individuals and in groups and teams. It promotes positive attitudes towards active and healthy lifestyles.”

At Marston Green Infant Academy all classes actively participate in weekly PE sessions following our GetSet scheme of work. As well as this, KS1 are provided with the opportunity to participate in another weekly session of dance, gymnastics or competitive sports. Throughout the year, KS1 children also take part in enrichment activities where they are exposed to another physical activity that is not taught within the curriculum. For example, we have enjoyed archery lessons.

In the Summer 2, Year 2 children partake in country dancing lessons with some of the children representing the school within the local community at the Mid May market.

We believe in instilling a love of physical activity throughout the school day and providing children with the skills and knowledge to continue leading healthy lifestyles and having a positive outlook on being active.
