Junior Department Sport

Physical Education offers children opportunities to acquire, develop and apply skills, perform with increasing physical competence, set targets for themselves, understand what it takes to persevere and develop their own preferences and positive attitudes towards physical activities.

During Key Stage One, pupils will build on their natural enthusiasm for movement, using it to explore and learn about their world. They will start to play and work with other children in pairs and small groups and will learn the principles of invasion play. By watching, listening and experimenting, they will develop skills in movement, co-ordination and will enjoy expressing and testing themselves in different situations.

During Key Stage Two, children enjoy being active use their own creativity and imagination in physical activity. They learn new skills and link them to make actions, phrases and sequences of movement and enjoy collaborating, communicating and competing with each other. They progress from participation in mini games to competitive matches.
