School Games Award

This year Boundary maintained the School Games Gold Award. To achieve this award Boundary offerered 2 hours of PE consistently to all pupils. We engaged over 90% of our children in Extra Curricular Activities. Boundary also ran initiatives to engage those pupils, who were least active. We engaged these pupils through healthy eating clubs for children and their parents, Multiskills Clubs and offering clubs which provide new and different sporting opportunities. We had to participate in a range of inter-school competitions and deliver inter-house competitions within school.

Curriculum

We are proud of the ambitious PE curriculum and broad variety of extracurricular sporting activities at Boundary Primary School.  The diverse opportunities in both the curriculum and extracurricular activities helps to ensure all children are equipped with a range of skills, knowledge and values to allow them to flourish in later life. The curriculum ensures that children are able to participate in a range of physical activity, including first hand experiences with inter and intra competitions and forest schools, to ensure a positive and engaging learning experience. The curriculum content and design ensure that all children, whatever their social background, are supported to develop their communication, resilience and teamwork skills which are important to allow for success.

In EYFS PE is taught through the Physcial Development aspect of the Early Years Framework. Chidlren have opporuntities everyday to explore and learn in the fantastic outdoor learning spaces. These are opportuntities to continue to develop their gross motor and fine motor skills as well as the 7 fundamental skills. Pupils in Nursery and Reception also have one hour of structure PE each week. 

 The focus of our skill based PE curriculum in  KS1 is the continuous development of the 7 key fundamental skills. This is taught through skill based activities and small competitive game situations. Pupils are also taught Gymnastics and Dance to further support the development of movement, balance and coordination. Once in KS2 children  PE taught hrough the 5 Key areas: Gymnastics,  Dance,  Invasion Games , Net and Wall Games Striking and Fielding Games, Athletics and Outdoor Adventure Activities.

Swimming takes place in  Year 4 and is taught my qualified swimming teachers. These are planned and taught with the support of the PE subject leader and the school sport coach. We follow Get Set 4 PE which is a progressive and well structure programm ensuring pupils are able to apply skills confidently when participating in any sport. Every Pupil from Year 1 to Year 6 at Boundary takes part in 2 hours of PE a week, which is in line with the National Curriculum guideline.
