PE

Our Vision

PE is vital at Cherry Orchard because in fostering a healthy life for now and forever, we provide a basis for a prosperous future that will allow our pupils to learn life skills and cope with competition, successes and failures in life. In PE we develop pupils' fundamental movement skills in preparation for their next stage in education. PE is essential because we learn about healthy eating and healthy bodies, which helps to improve mental health. We will ensure pupils have a wide access to lessons, Intra and Inter-School Games, competition week, swimming lessons and clubs that are equitable for all. We will provide these experiences inclusively and equitably for those who are the least active. We will provide at least 1.5 hours of PE each week in a range of sports and games, provide clubs, Sports Crew, assemblies and sporting visitors as inspiration.

About P.E. in the National Curriculum

We follow the Real PE schemes of work where knowledge and skills are taught progressively linked to the National Curriculum. There are 6 different learning behaviours which underpin the Real PE delivery: personal, social, cognitive, creative, physical and health and fitness. Each half term all children across the school focus on one of these areas.

The National Curriculum for P.E. aims to ensure that all pupils should be taught to:

Develop competence to excel in a broad range of physical activities
Be physically active for sustained periods of time
Engage in competitive sports and activities
Lead healthy, active lives
Swim 25m using a range of strokes and be able to self-save. Year 5 will go swimming for one hour each week.

How do we participate in School Games?

Inter-house games take place at the end of most half terms and will reflect the prior teaching in both indoor and outdoor P.E. for that half term. Pupils will compete against other pupils in each house.

inter-school games take place as arranged by the School Games Coordinator - Jo Nightingale throughout the year where pupils compete against other pupils in their cluster.
