PE

What is the intent of our PE curriculum?

At Wentworth, we follow the statutory requirements of the National Curriculum for PE.  The iMoves (dance) and Get Set 4 PE (gymnastics and athletics) schemes of work are used to support planning and delivering the curriculum.  Through access to a wide range of physical education (PE), our pupils regularly express themselves in varied environments and activities.   As well as having an impact on mobility, our PE curriculum strives to develop pupils’ mood, communication and overall wellbeing.  To flourish as active citizens, our PE curriculum promotes the benefits of movement both mentally and physically.

How do we implement our PE curriculum?

Every child will access at least 2 hours of physical activity weekly, including:

•  Daily Mile
•  Swimming
•  Indoor and outdoor PE lessons

Pupils are encouraged to revisit skills through the progressive units of work.   Sports taught in school include: yoga, invasion games, dance, gymnastics, tennis, netball, football, hockey, basketball, athletics and cricket. 

Alongside our curriculum, internal and external providers run weekly clubs, ensuring that their expertise promotes each sport.  To contribute to our local community, children participate in a range of tournaments such as cricket, netball and cross-country.  

What is the impact of our PE curriculum?

• All Pupils

By the end of KS2, pupils have a clear understanding of independence and teamwork as well as a deep knowledge of how to participate in a variety of sports.  

• DP/LAC

All providers offer at least one funded space, ensuring DP/LAC pupils have equal access to opportunities to develop their sporting skills in school.  

•  SEND

We ensure our PE curriculum is accessible and inclusive for all pupils.  Reasonable adjustments are made to ensure all pupils can participate in the planned curriculum (eg. additional adult support, adapted tasks, modified equipment, specialist training, etc).
