PE

Purpose  

A high-quality physical education curriculum inspires all pupils to succeed and excel in  competitive sport and other physically-demanding activities. It should provide  opportunities for pupils to become physically confident in a way which supports their  health and fitness. Opportunities to compete in sport and other activities build character  and help to embed values such as fairness and respect.  

PE at Littlecoates  

The pupils participate in team games and understand the importance of competing fairly. They respect opponents and acquire the ability to accept victory and defeat with equal grace. They understand the principles of attacking and defending and apply this  in a range of team games. They can perform dances and routines and suggest ways to  improve. They can evaluate others’ performances sensitively and constructively. They become flexible, fit, strong and agile, and can apply a range of skills to a variety of games and activities. They understand the link between physical and mental  health and aspire to live an active, healthy life. They recognise the importance of inclusivity and equality in all sports and physical pursuits.
