Physical Education 2024 - 2025

‘Intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong’ – J.F Kennedy
 

At Boundary, the intent of our PE curriculum is to deliver lessons which are accessible to all and that will maximise the development of every child’s ability and achievement in the area of PE. This will enable them to know more about physical activity and keeping healthy.

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

At Boundary Primary School we provide a Physical Education curriculum that inspires all pupils to engage in physical activity. This is achieved by allowing all children to participate in a range of physical activity on a daily basis. We ensure all pupils have opportunities to excel in a range of physical activities to support their health and fitness, develop skills to build and shape their character and grow their teamwork and communication skills.  We also aim for pupils to grow using the Boundary Characteristics to allow them to be positive, active members of their community. 

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 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 ttaught hrough the 5 Key areas:

    • Gymnastics

These are planned and taught with the support of the PE subject leader and the school sport coach. Our curriculum is skill based, 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.

All Pupils will have the opportunity to take part in inspirational work shops during our whole school Health Week and take part in our Interhouse Sports Days.

Throughout this year sports coaches from Blackpool Council will be supporting pupils in every year group to further develop their fundamnetal skills and confidence to apply them. This will also form support for pupils with SEND and provide a multiskills sports club for each year group throughout the academic year. 

During the academic year the profile of PE is continuously raised through the celebration of the Walk to School Project in partnership with Blackpool Council, celebrations of events pupils have attended and other themed events throughput the year.

In the Autumn term Wigan Warriors Rugby Club will be delivering rugby workshops to all pupils in Years 4 and 5.

In the Summer Term Blackpool Sport will also offer the level 3 Bikeability course to pupils who have passed the level 1 and 2 courses.
