Physical Education - Teignmouth Primary

Physical Education progression document

We offer a broad range of inclusive opportunities that nurture talent, allow pupils to excel and develop competence, ability and skill and self-belief through sport and PE. Sport at Teignmouth Primary underpins the principles of respect and fairness at school, home and in the community; therefore, instilling an inner self discipline that children can apply in their home life, wider school life and future. We want to equip children with the determination and aspiration to make their own choices regardless of individual barriers with the opportunity to further develop the their mindset, inspiring them to believe in themselves and achieve what they are capable of.

At Teignmouth Primary, we promote a healthy lifestyle and value the importance of physical activity through physical education (PE).

In Reception, they are taught 2 x 25 minute lessons per week alongside other opportunities to support their physical development. In KS1 and KS2 they are taught between 60-90 mins per week.

In KS1, children explore dance, gymnastics and games with a focus on locomotor and manipulative skills.

In KS2, children explore dance, gymnastics, athletics, invasion games, net and wall, and strike and field, enhancing those skills learnt during KS1.

Depending on the planned activity and the weather, PE can take place inside our hall, on our playground or on our large playing field. We have a wide range of PE equipment available to cover a variety of activities within our PE curriculum.

At lunch times, we also promote a healthy attitude to daily physical activity. We provide children with access to a range of ‘Huff and Puff’ equipment which is for use outside.

As a school, we also belong to the very successful Dartmoor School Sport Partnership. This gives our children access to sports festivals, tournaments, new resources and additional P.E. specialist teachers. The Partnership provides our staff with regular high- quality courses and keeps the school informed of all the latest developments in Physical Education.
