Physical Education
Intent Implementation Impact
Intent: The layout of our curriculum, the units, and WHY they are taught in a particular order. What we expect the children to learn at St George’s and why.
Implementation: How we get the children to accomplish what we set out for them – what kinds of resources will we use. What sorts of tasks they will complete. How we assess the children and ensure they make progress.
Impact: Using assessment to look at how each year group will move on and develop. Looking at the impact of each unit and how it links to previous learning and future learning. What will P.E look like for a Year 2 child?
Intent
At St George’s, we recognise and value the importance of Physical Education (P.E). PE at St George’s School aims to develop a fun, high-quality physical education curriculum that inspires all pupils to succeed and excel in competitive sports and other physically-demanding activities. We do this through fully adhering to the aims of the national curriculum for physical education to ensure that all children:
• develop competence to excel in a broad range of physical activities
• are physically active for sustained periods of time
• engage in competitive sports and activities
• lead healthy, active lives
It is our intention to build a curriculum that enables children to develop knowledge, skills and vocabulary in a broad range of sporting activities, as well as developing values and transferrable life skills such as tolerance, fairness and respect.
Through enrichment activities through the DCHS Schools Partnership programme, we aim to raise the profile of PE and expose our children to sports they may never have had the opportunity to engage with.
Additionally, an imperative element of the curriculum at St George’s shows a need for healthy life styles, a balanced diet, positive growth mind-set and the resilience to persevere.
We are passionate about the need to teach children how to co-operate and collaborate with others, as part of a team, understanding fairness and equity of play to embed life-long values.

Implementation
Teaching of PE in the Foundation Stage:
Children within EYFS undertake a range of daily physical exercise within their classrooms, continuous provision areas and structured weekly PE sessions.
KS1
The PE curriculum is taught through the P.E. Hub scheme, which meets the National Curriculum requirements. This is used to aid teaching staff in their subject knowledge. Teachers are able to adapt and improve lessons to tailor them to the needs of their children but the scheme provides a strong basis of what is expected. In addition, Wycombe Wanderers and a specialist dance teacher deliver lessons and CPD to our children and staff, improving and developing the teaching of PE further.
Each class has access to 2 hours of high - quality PE lessons every week. These are taught by the class teacher or specialist coaches.
Children are given the opportunity to practise skills in a variety of ways and each lesson builds upon the previous skills, allowing them time to embed it. Different skills are recapped throughout and across the years, each time they are being built upon; allowing children to know more and remember more.
We facilitate a selection of after school Sports clubs which enhances the P.E curriculum, such as; dance, football and tennis.
