Developing PE for Successful Outcomes for Learners
Physical Education (P.E)
Our school P.E mission is: “To achieve the full physical potential of every child and develop their confidence to contribute to the health and well-being of themselves and others within the school and local community.”
Staff capitalise on young children’s natural enthusiasm for movement, helping them to explore and learn about their world. Nursery and Reception classes have access to wonderful outdoor learning spaces where climbing, riding bikes, digging in mud, sand and water play supports gross and fine motor skill development.In addition they enjoy P.E. lessons which have dedicated skills focus.
In the Early Years Foundation Stage, Physical Development is a prime area about how young children gain control of their bodies. However it also includes how children learn about keeping themselves active and healthy and how they learn to use equipment and materials successfully and safely.
The National Curriculum for KS1 proposes ‘children should develop fundamental movement skills, become increasingly competent and confident and access a broad range of opportunities to extend their agility, balance and coordination, individually and with others.’ Year 1 and Year 2 children enjoy two hours of PE each week with this focus whilst also developing the important qualities of discipline, resilience, communication, team work and ambition.Through dance, games and athletics children develop positive attitudes towards physical activity and improve their confidence which leads to better concentration, attitude and academic achievement.
Lunchtime staff are trained to ensure we have an active playground where, dancing, nursery songs singing, skipping, ball games, scooting and ball games are available. To further encourage movement there is a large play trail for climbing, balancing and improving core body strength and dexterity.
As a Forest School our philosophy is to encourage and inspire individuals of any age through positive outdoor experiences in our Wilderness area. Our aim is to promote the engagement of the children through motivating achievable tasks and activities and to enhance development of personal, social, health and emotional skills.
Real PE
Alongside the programme of study within the National Curriculum, the school has developed PE using a scheme of work called Real PE. This program of study is used for one lesson a week from Reception to Year 2 and is ‘a philosophy and approach which aims to transform how we teach PE in order to include, challenge and support every child. It supports teachers and other deliverers to make small changes that will have a significant impact on their learners.’ At Hampton Wick Infant and Nursery School, we completed a school year using this scheme of work (2015-2016) and can see that it encourages children to learn core skills (such as agility, balance and co-ordination) in an imaginative, inclusive manner. The success of this scheme means we will continue to upskill our teachers and develop our resources to ensure PE is taught with confidence, knowledge and enjoyment.
Sport Premium
Schools are allocated dedicated funding to support the development of PE. This is part of the Olympic 2012 legacy to improve lifestyle outcomes for children. At Hampton Wick Infant and Nursery School we have embraced this opportunity to better support staff and children in this important area.
To help us deliver high quality physical education we are members of the
Richmond School Sport Partnership which provides training for staff, support for effective P.E implementation as well as cross school competitions. P.E leadership is also a focus in the actions of which include a curriculum provision mapping, lesson planning and robust monitoring evaluation.
Finally, a crucial portion of ourfunding supports high-quality opportunities for children identified to most benefit.
