Physical Education

Our Aims and Objectives
At Witton Church Walk we ensure that the children access at least two hours of Physical activity throughout the week. During the week children will have a dedicated lesson to learn skills. Children are given the opportunity to become physically confident in a way which supports their health and fitness. The children are given the opportunity to develop fundamental skills and apply them when engaging in competitive activities. The curriculum we provide encourages children to develop competences to excel in a broad range of physical activities across dance, gymnastics and games.

All pupils also have the opportunity to swim during KS2. Lessons are held at Brio Leisure Centre. Children develop an understanding of water safety and provided with the opportunity to develop their range of swimming strokes. By the end of KS2, if not before, it is our aim for all children to be able to swim over a distance of at least 25 metres competently, confidently and proficiently.

Children get the opportunity to complete Bike ability training with Cycle Experience, a national bike awareness cycling program which trains the children in riding safely on the road and provides them with a understanding of basic first aid.

Our Curriculum Planning
At Witton Church Walk Primary School, we deliver our Physical Education curriculum using the 'Complete PE' Scheme. This ensures our curriculum delivers clear progression of skills from Year 1 to Year 6. Key Stage 1 covers fundamental skills such as running, jumping, balancing, throwing and catching alongside dance and gymnastics. These skills are then transfered into sport specific skills, alongside dance, gymnastics, OAA and swimming.
