Physical Education

Intent

At Hopton C of E Primary Academy, our intent in Physical Education is to deliver a high-quality PE curriculum that inspires all pupils to succeed and excel in competitive, creative, and cooperative physical activities, in line with the National Curriculum.

We aim to ensure that pupils:

Develop physical competence, confidence, and control in a broad range of activities
Are physically active for sustained periods of time
Engage in competitive sport and physical challenges
Lead healthy, active lifestyles and understand the importance of fitness and wellbeing

PE also supports the development of whole-child outcomes, including resilience, teamwork, leadership, and respect.

Implementation

PE is taught through a progressive, well-sequenced curriculum that follows National Curriculum requirements and builds skills year on year and follows our newly introduced PE scheme, Complete PE.

At Hopton C of E Primary Academy, we aim to ensure that we provide:

Two hours of PE per week for all pupils
A broad range of activities including:

Games (invasion, net/wall, striking and fielding)
Gymnastics
Dance
Athletics
Outdoor and adventurous activities (where appropriate)

Clear progression in fundamental movement skills, tactics, and performance
Inclusive teaching that ensures all pupils can participate and succeed.
Opportunities for competition, both intra- and inter-school – Including, but not limited to UV Sports Events, Multi Sports Events and Rounders tournaments.

Impact

The impact of our PE curriculum is that pupils will:

Meet the end-of-key-stage expectations of the National Curriculum
Demonstrate improved physical skills, stamina, strength, and coordination
Show increased confidence and enjoyment in physical activity
Understand how to maintain a healthy, active lifestyle
Apply values such as fair play, teamwork, resilience, and respect

By the time pupils leave our school, they are physically literate, motivated, and equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to continue participating in sport and physical activity beyond school.
