Our Intent

Physical literacy

To build confident, competent movers through REAL PE and explicit progression in agility, balance, coordination and fundamental movement. To enable pupils to transfer movement competence into games, gymnastics, dance, athletics, outdoor learning and sport.

Entitlement

We aim to provide a broad, ambitious PE entitlement from EYFS to Year 6. This teach pupils to cooperate, compete fairly, evaluate performance and pursue personal best and promotes healthy, active lives and positive attitudes to physical activity.

Wider Development

At EHPA we use sport to develop resilience, leadership, teamwork, respect and belonging. Careers and community pathways are visible. We ensure SEND adaptations maintain the same ambitious learning intention wherever possible.

Our Implementation

Weekly Model

  • One REAL PE lesson develops physical literacy and the REAL PE cogs.
  • A second lesson explicitly applies skills through games, sport, dance, gymnastics, athletics or OAA.
  • During a year group’s Forest School half term, Forest School provides the equivalent of both PE lessons.

Curriculum Design

  • Knowledge and skills are revisited with increasing complexity.
  • Competition opportunities influence sequencing: tennis Y4, basketball Y5 and cricket Y5.
  • Bikeability in Y5 and Derwent Hill in Y6 extend safe, active and adventurous learning.

Swimming

Swimming is shown as curriculum entitlement in Y5 and Y6 but detailed lesson content is delivered by the secondary feeder school.

  • School monitors the statutory outcomes: 25m proficiency, effective strokes and safe self-rescue.
  • Y4 swimming is additional only if capacity/time remains at year end.

The Impact

Competence

  • Pupils move with increasing control, fluency and confidence and apply skills across unfamiliar activities.
  • They understand tactics, rules and how to improve performance.

Character

  • Pupils cooperate, lead, persevere, compete fairly and respond constructively to feedback.
  • They recognise physical activity as part of a healthy, active life.

Evidence

  • Assessment draws on REAL PE progression plus unit-specific application endpoints.
  • Pupils can explain prior learning and transfer it into new sports and contexts.
  • Participation, swimming outcomes and competition opportunities inform subject evaluation.
