PE and Sport at Bryn St. Peter's

Intent:

At Bryn St Peter’s, we recognise the importance PE plays in the curriculum and are committed to providing all children with opportunities to engage fully in Physical Education. The aim of our PE programme is to develop children's basic physical competencies, build confidence in their ability and build the foundations for a lifelong love of sport, physical activity and a healthy lifestyle.

PE lessons encourage children to compete against themselves and others whilst being challenged to improve their physical, social, emotional and thinking skills. These skills are embedded in the heart of our planning.

Our objectives in the teaching of PE align with the National Curriculum in that we aim to ensure all pupils:

-        Develop competence to excel in a broad range of physical activities

-        Are physically active for sustained periods of time

-        Engage in competitive sports and activities

-        Lead healthy, active lives

Sports Crew:

Each year, we choose a group of children from Year 5 and Year 6 who lead activities during lunchtimes. Alongside this, we have Bronze Ambassadors who receive regular training from our School Games Network. They then deliver activities and help to run events such as Let Girls Play Day and our Santa Dash.

School Games:

The School Games is a programme which puts physical activity and school sport at the heart of schools, providing young people with the opportunity to learn through physical activity and competition to achieve their personal best. Each year, we work closely with our School Games Officers to give our children the best opportunities. This year, we achieved a gold in the School Games Mark.
