PE and Sport at Bryn St. Peter's

Intent:

At Bryn St Peter’s, our curriculum is designed to provide a broad and balanced PE offer that promotes enjoyment, engagement and progression. We intend for our children to leave Bryn St Peter’s with the physical literacy, confidence and motivation required for lifelong participation. The curriculum is structured to meet the needs of all learners, ensuring inclusivity and aspiration for every child.

Implementation:

·        We use the Get Set 4 PE scheme to deliver high-quality lessons that align with our whole-child approach and the National Curriculum.

·        Progression is built into the scheme, ensuring increasing challenge as pupils move through the school.

·        All children receive 2 hours of timetabled PE weekly, complemented by a Daily Mile session.

·        Swimming lessons begin in Year 3 and continue in Year 4, with additional support in Year 5 for pupils who have not yet met national expectations.

·        Our curriculum is enriched through experiences such as Sports Day, outdoor adventurous activities, experience days provided by visiting coaches, and inter-school events through our School Games network.

·        A range of extra-curricular clubs are offered throughout the year, ensuring wide access to additional physical activity opportunities.

·        EYFS pupils develop physical skills through planned indoor and outdoor provision linked to the Early Learning Goals.

Impact:

Our PE curriculum ensures children:

·        Develop confidence, competence and enjoyment in physical activity.

·        Gain essential life skills including teamwork, communication and resilience.

·        Understand the importance of health, fitness and wellbeing.

·        Are well-prepared for the next stage of their physical development and education.

Through targeted opportunities and inclusive practice, all pupils—including those with additional needs—make strong progress.

PE Inclusion Statement

At our school, we are committed to creating an inclusive environment where every child feels valued, respected, and able to achieve their full potential. We recognise that all pupils are unique, with different strengths, needs, backgrounds and learning styles. We actively promote equality of opportunity and aim to remove barriers to learning so that all children can participate fully in school life.

We celebrate diversity and foster a culture of kindness, understanding, and mutual respect. All staff work collaboratively to support pupils’ academic, social, and emotional development, ensuring that every child feels safe, supported and included.

PE Adaptation Statement

We understand that some pupils may require additional support or adjustments to access the PE curriculum effectively. Teaching is therefore adapted to meet the individual needs of all learners through a range of strategies, including adapted tasks, flexible teaching approaches, targeted interventions, and the use of appropriate resources. We also work closely with parents, carers, and external professionals to ensure that adaptations are meaningful, inclusive, and responsive to each child’s needs.  Further details of this can be found within the PE policy.

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 Network is a local and national programme in England that provides children with opportunities to participate in competitive and non-competitive sports and physical activities. It connects schools, sports clubs, and community organisations to deliver inclusive events and competitions, ensuring that pupils of all abilities—including those with special educational needs or low confidence—can take part. The network encourages teamwork, fair play, personal challenge, and a lifelong engagement with physical activity.

Once again this year, we have been awarded Gold. A recognition of our efforts and achievements across the school.
