Research  

Ofsted review series states “In order to meet the breadth and ambition of the national curriculum, the review suggests that schools should identify how they intend for pupils to make progress in the subject. It identifies three pillars of progression in physical education, which provide a basis for navigating the national curriculum aims: 

• Motor competence 
• Rules strategies and tactics  
• Healthy participation. 

Therefore, out CET Primary curriculum focuses on three strands – push, express and challenge where these 3 pillars are covered and celebrated. 

 

Intent 

To provide a fun, high-quality physical education curriculum that inspires all pupils to succeed and excel in physically-demanding activities and competitive sports. We provide opportunities for all pupils to become physically confident in a way which supports their health and fitness. Our children have opportunities to compete in sport and other activities that build character and help to embed values such as fairness and respect. PE at Newtown is an important element of the curriculum, which develops a need for healthy lifestyles, a balanced diet, positive mind-set and the resilience to persevere with activities. We are passionate about the need to teach children how to cooperate and collaborate with others, as part of a team, understanding fairness and equity of play to embed life-long values.
