NX PE Policy

What does PE look like at Neville’s Cross?

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

At Neville’s Cross, we believe that a high quality physical education curriculum inspires all our pupils to succeed and excel in competitive sport and other physical activities. We provide opportunities for our pupils to become physically confident to support their health, fitness and wellbeing. These opportunities allow them to compete in sport and other activities, both in school and the wider community, build character and help embed values of fairness and respect. Our aim at Neville’s Cross is to ensure all children enjoy and are engaged in Physical Education and Sport. Our curriculum is designed to develop our children’s knowledge, skills and understanding, so they can perform with increasing confidence and competence in a range of physical activities. We promote active participation and lifelong learning for every child to achieve their full potential by ensuring that every child’s experience of Physical Education is positive and motivating and that their attitudes to a healthy lifestyle are firmly embedded in our curriculum. PE sessions are delivered predominantly using Core Tasks which enable teachers to plan progressive sessions acknowledging children’s starting points and then measure progress. All sessions include a warm up, main activity and cool down. Sport is an important part of the school community. SSOC and Sports Leaders support younger children organising and playing games at break time and lunchtime. Children in EYFS have free access to outdoors and children have timetabled sessions on the MUGA in addition to curriculum PE.

Intent, Implementation and Impact:

  • The Intent provides information on the provision of PE.
  • The Implementation provides the subject overview detailing how PE is taught.
  • The Impact shows improvements seen as a result of our implementation of PE

Intent

What will take place before teaching in the classroom? 

The school’s senior leadership team will … 

  • Lead the school staff to develop a curriculum intent consistent with school’s drivers and development of all curriculum subjects.  
  • Develop specific PE subject intent, which explains our school ethos and curriculum design in detail.  
  • Support subject leader to spend time with staff to share skills.  
  • Provide funding to support high quality implementation of the PE curriculum.   

Curriculum leader will ...

  • Understand and articulate the requirements of the curriculum. 
  • Use this knowledge to support staff in the delivery of PE.  
  • Ensure skills and knowledge are planned for progressively over time so that children become effective sportspeople.  
  • Develop a long-term subject plan, which identifies the progression within each phase of knowledge, skills and vocabulary in PE.  
  • Support staff to have a full picture of learning in PE at each stage, including EYFS so prior knowledge is constantly referenced accurately. 
  • Catalogue and organise an up to date range of resources so children have access to equipment, which supports them to extend their skills as a sportsperson.   
  • Establish and nurture links within the local community to real athletes or those studying PE, to give children aspirations.  
  • Network with other local schools and the SSP to keep up to date with subject development. 

The class teacher will, with the support of the curriculum leader … 

  • Work in teams to develop curriculum skills grids, which outline the knowledge and skills to be covered over the course of each term and share with parents and carers.  
  • Use the long-term subject plan to ensure coverage in lessons is sequential, includes balance between knowledge and skills and references prior learning. 
  • Seek out the subject leader if they require support or advice.  
  • Ensure lesson resources are engaging, appropriate and plentiful so children can learn knowledge and practise skills across the series of lessons.  
  • Plan experiences, competitions and festivals, which give children opportunities to participate and compete.  
Implementation

What will this look like in the classroom? 

Our teaching sequence will be …. 

  • All PE lessons include children warming up, acquiring and practising new skills and cooling down. 
  • Skills are modelled (by staff and children), practised, evaluated then applied in competitive situations. 
  • Fundamental movement skills are taught, developed and practised in EYFS through the prime area of Physical Development.  
  • Core Tasks are delivered across KS1 and KS2 to enable the teacher to evaluate and differentiate starting points, plan what the children need to improve then assess attainment against the core task to monitor improvement. 

Our classrooms will… 

  • Provide a nurturing environment for learning where children, whatever their age can work individually, in pairs and cooperate in small groups. 
  • Contain age appropriate equipment specific to PE for children to use. 
  • Have appropriate sport specific equipment, which is in good condition, safe and securely stored.    
  • PE notice board that provides information about PE in school, after school clubs, SSP and external sporting clubs. 
  • SSOC/Sports Leader notice board  
  • Display board detailing what PE we do in school and what we can aspire to become.  
  • Classrooms display current PE lessons for that given term.

Our children will be … 

  • Enthused by their learning because coherent learning experiences give them the confidence to reach beyond their grasp. 
  • Engaged by the challenge within lessons to demonstrate their knowledge.  
  • Encouraged by specific feedback given by their teacher to reflect on their work and areas to improve.  
  • Nurtured to show confidence in contributing to their learning through sharing thoughts and ideas.  
  • Develop PE skills and confidence over time due to carefully planned, sequences of high quality lessons over time.  
Impact

How will this be measured? 

Pupil voice will show … 

  • Enthusiasm and confidence in discussing their learning and experiences in PE. 
  • A clear understanding of the skills and knowledge relating to PE, needed to be a sportsperson.  
  • A progression of the vocabulary used to articulate their learning and experiences as a sportsperson.  

Displays around school and books will show ...

  • Pupils have a balance of planned learning experiences including practical evidence in photographs and on seesaw.   
  • A varied and engaging curriculum, which develops a range of PE skills.  
  • Clear progression of skills in line with those identified on the long term plans.  
  • That pupils, over time, develop a range of skills and knowledge across all parts of the PE curriculum.  

The curriculum leader will … 

  • Lead regular inter and intra sport competitions to celebrate the success of children as sportspeople at Neville’s Cross.  
  • Collate a portfolio of evidence, which reflect children’s deepening knowledge and experiences in PE over time.  
  • Monitor standards of teaching and lessons.  
  • Provide CPD opportunities including mentoring and coaching.
