At Benedict Academy, our PE curriculum ensures that by the end of Key Stage 2, all pupils develop the competence to excel in a broad range of physical activities. We also provide opportunities for pupils to become physically confident in a way which supports their health, fitness and overall wellbeing.
Pupils within EYFS develop their gross and fine motor skills in order to navigate and successfully explore their learning environment. They learn to do this in a safe and controlled manner. They also learn about how to keep themselves healthy and fit as they grow by learning the benefits of healthy eating and exercise.
Through engaging and purposeful lessons, pupils from years 1-6 develop the stamina to be physically active for sustained periods of time. All pupils are taught the knowledge and develop an understanding of how to lead healthy, active lives.
Throughout their time at Benedict pupils have the opportunity to engage in competitive sports and activities within our academy and with other schools within our trust, and borough. Pupils are also taught how to work as part of a team and how to be good sports people. Finally, pupils are taught how to keep themselves safe whilst in water and develop their ability to swim.
We ensure that we offer an inclusive PE curriculum, that considers pupils with sensory or physical difficulties. Task changes and adaptations are made to all activities to ensure that all learners participate fully. Vocabulary, as with all of our subjects, is explicitly taught.
