PE

At Inglehurst Infant School, we recognise the importance of Physical Education to a child’s physical, cognitive, social and emotional development as well as the role it can play in a child’s spiritual, moral and cultural development. We are committed to supporting the health and wellbeing of our children and understand the impact physical activity and sport has on this. We aim to provide a PE curriculum, which allows children to experience a range of activities that help them to develop a range of skills such as balance, co-ordination, teamwork and creativity. Our children will experience the foundations of gymnastics, dance and a variety of sports. We intend to offer a high-quality physical curriculum that children will enjoy. We aim to promote self-esteem, develop physical confidence, resilience and the skills needed to enhance life-long fitness and life choices.

In our school, PE encourages all children to:

• develop competence to excel in a broad range of physical activities
• be physically active for sustained periods of time
• take part in competitive sports and activities
• lead healthy, active lives
• build character and help to embed values such as fairness and respect
• discover their talents and inner strengths
