  • Personal/Social Skills – Children should develop increasing levels of independence, resilience, personal achievement, teamwork, sharing, turn taking, sportsmanship, reflection, collaboration and cognitive skills.
  • Health Awareness – Children should increasingly be able to recognise how they are feeling and what they should do for the benefit of their health, for example have drink, add or remove clothing, weather, increase physical activity etc.
  • Fitness –to ensure raised heart rate through sustained levels of activity leading to increased stamina. Gaining increased understanding of how their body responds to exercise.
  • Creative Development – Provide varied opportunities to explore and experience creative dimensions, such as movement, expression and tactics, within the PE curriculum.
  • Other roles and leadership– Providing opportunities for students to experience a variety of roles and responsibilities beyond the performer role, such as an official, coach, reporter, photographer. Valuing each role with respect.
  • Competition Pathway – To recognise that competition can be in the form of time, distance, yourself, one other, a team or more and provide scope for each of these. In particular in upper KS2 through intra, inter, county, regional and national competition.
