PE and School Sport

Our Vision

As part of Rossett Acre’s value of ‘Excellence and Happiness for all’, our vision for PE is to promote the importance of living an active life. Opportunities will be sought to engage all children in regular physical activities both within the school day and during extra-curricular clubs/sporting events. We provide a high quality physical education programme where pupils develop physical competence and confidence, are given opportunities to be physically educated and become physically literate through a broad range of competitive and non-competitive sports and activities, both inside and outside of teaching hours.

In July 2024, Rossett Acre was awarded the Platinum Kitemark and Youth Sports Trust Quality Mark – this demonstrates our dedication to improving PE and Sport at our school.

The PE Curriculum

We aim to provide a broad and balanced PE curriculum in line with the requirements of the National Curriculum. All children participate in 2 hours of curriculum time PE per week. During these lessons children take part in games, gymnastics and dance activities. The curriculum is enriched through the use of REAL PE resources which aim to develop the fundamental skills required to be successful in a range of sports.

Each half term teachers will plan their Physical Education based on a different multi-ability cog each half term. These are: Personal, Social, Cognitive, Creative, Physical and Health and Fitness. Each of these units contains a sequence of lessons, including the progression of fundamental movement skills. These movement skills are taken from the National Curriculum for PE.

The physical education provision will contribute to the personal development, health and well-being, enjoyment, success and achievement of all pupils across the whole curriculum and beyond. These activities are a balance of the traditional and non-traditional, utilising our dedicated sports hall and fantastic outside spaces to the full.

Physical Education provides pupils with the opportunity to be creative, competitive and face up to different challenges as individuals, in groups and teams. It promotes positive attitudes towards a healthy and active lifestyle. Pupils learn how to think in different ways and make decisions in response to creative, competitive and challenging activities. They learn how to reflect on their performance, plan, perform and evaluate actions, ideas and performances to improve the quality of their work.

PE Long Term Plan

Remaining safe when doing P.E at home

Please remember:

• You must have a grown up with you when you do any home P.E challenge (maybe they could even join in! )
• The activities should take place in a space big enough for you to move around safer (preferably outside where possible, and including above your head! )
• Ensure your space is safe for you to exercise in - making sure there is nothing you could fall over or into. Your safety comes first .
• Make sure the floor is not slippery and doesn't have anything sharp lying on it.
• Wear comfortable clothing, put your hair up (if needed) and remove any jewellery/watches etc.

Keep smiling, have fun and stay active!
