PE
We aim to develop children’s skills, enjoyment and confidence in physical activity and introduce them to the pleasures of sport to help develop active children who benefit from a healthy lifestyle. Through a multi-skills approach, children develop their skills in games, as well as athletics, gymnastics, dance, orienteering and swimming.
Real PE has formed the skills-based side of our curriculum since 2018; aiding in the development of physical education at Stenson Fields Primary Community School.
What is 'real PE'?
The vision of Real PE is to "create a positive relationship with physical activity for life." They hope that this is achieved through their "unique and inclusive approaches"...which will..."develop essential behaviours, physical literacy, emotional and thinking skills in all young children".
There are six elements that PE will focus on:
Within the teaching of these areas, there is an ongoing focus on the fundamental movement skills (Agility, Balance and Coordination).
How are other areas of the PE curriculum taught?
In September 2024, we introduced a new scheme in order to teach fitness, dance, gymnastics and athletics - Get Set 4 PE. We also use the agreed syllabus for swimming from Derbyshire County Council and a locally-produced scheme for Orienteering. Each scheme provides progression across the year groups and builds upon previous learning and skills.
