Intent

At BPA we strive to ensure all children develop a lifelong love for sport and physical activity, and aim to lead healthy lifestyles. We hope all children enjoy being active and have fun in PE lessons.  Through good physical education, whole school values and a whole child approach, we aim to nurture confident, resilient children who will strive for their personal best.  We do this by delivering a varied, active, and engaging curriculum plan which exposes all children to a range of sports and activities including a vast amount of afterschool clubs.  We pride ourselves on a ‘can do’ attitude and emphasis that what matters is taking part.  We want to help our children in obtaining the values and skills to celebrate and respect the success of others, as well as celebrating their own successes.  We endeavour to educate both our children and families to develop a greater understanding on how to live healthy active lifestyles.  We are dedicated to ensuring healthy minds and bodies and will continue to support our children’s well-being.  We have strong links with local sports partnerships and clubs within our community to ensure children and families receive the support and knowledge they need.  We aim to ensure that our delivery of high-quality physical education allows all children to have the skills and mindset to leave the school with the capabilities to be successful in their sporting challenges and active lifestyles at secondary school and beyond.

Implementation

We do this by delivering a varied, active and engaging curriculum which exposes all children to a range of sports. Not only do we teach high quality lessons, that stretch all children to reach their full potential, but children are also able to take part in a range of opportunities offered to them for example Sports Captains, extra-curricular clubs and competitions for all. Through these opportunities, children are able to grow holistically, developing key skills, as well as improving their own practical abilities, fitness and health, whilst harnessing within them their desire to take part in sport.
