The Curriculum: P.E.

PE Intent

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.

Physically educated persons are those who have learned to arrange their lives in such a way that they habitual physical activities they freely engage in make a distinctive contribution to their wider flourishing
