PE and Sports Premium

Physical Education (PE) contributes to the overall education of all children by helping them to lead full and valuable lives through engaging in purposeful and high-quality activity.

It promotes active and healthy lifestyles, physical skills, physical development and knowledge of the body in action.

PE enables children to learn confidence, perseverance, team spirit, positive competitiveness and organisation. Children must engage in a programme of PE that encourages fitness and improves their strength. PE is an integral part of school practices allowing all children in the school to gain a sense of achievement and develop positive attitudes towards themselves and others.

St Marychurch Primary School seeks to provide a full, varied and interesting Physical Education curriculum which challenges, engages and excites staff and pupils alike. We see Physical Education as a vital part of the education experience as a whole.

Our values are embedded within the delivery of PE lessons and in being physically active as a way of life; the opportunities for our pupils at St Marychurch Primary promote a positive attitude towards healthy and active lifestyles.

These opportunities promote the respect, trust and honesty our school values show us. With God’s love we learn to trust ourselves and one another in the different challenges we face as individuals and in groups and teams. We learn to respect others when we compromise and cooperate with others and to be thankful for these opportunities we share.
