Physical Education

P.E Curriculum Intent

At Hamford, we provide pupils with a high-quality physical education which inspires all pupils to succeed and excel in competitive sport and other physically-demanding activities and provide opportunities for pupils to become physically confident in a way which supports their health and fitness. Through their physical education lessons, pupils will build resilience and embed values such as fairness and respect.

Our Curriculum

The curriculum is designed in such a way that children are able to build on their prior learning. Basic core skills are revisited at the start of each unit to allow children to understand and select the skills that are required. These are then embedded throughout the unit. The skills are revisited each week and built on as the children’s bank of knowledge grows. Children's knowledge is built upon throughout each year and across the year groups. Through the PE curriculum we will: 

Push the Limits:

• We believe in encouraging our pupils to set high aspirations and strive for excellence in all areas of their lives. Our ambitious curriculum provides opportunities for pupils to engage in challenging tasks, problem-solving activities, and critical thinking exercises. By pushing the limits, our pupils develop resilience, determination, and the ability to overcome obstacles, preparing them for success in an ever-changing world.

Be Big Hearted: 

• We instill the values of kindness, empathy, and compassion in our pupils. Our curriculum promotes social and emotional development, fostering positive relationships and nurturing a sense of community. Through collaborative projects, community engagement, and acts of kindness, our pupils learn the importance of making a positive difference in the lives of others. 

Be Unusually Brave: 

• We encourage our pupils to step out of their comfort zones and embrace new experiences. Our curriculum provides opportunities for risk-taking, creativity, and self-expression. We promote a growth mindset, empowering our pupils to embrace challenges, learn from failures, and develop the confidence to take on new and unfamiliar situations.

Discover What's Possible: 

• We believe in nurturing curiosity and a thirst for knowledge. Our curriculum encourages exploration, critical thinking, and problem-solving. We provide a wide range of subjects, enrichment activities, and real-world connections to inspire our pupils' natural curiosity and help them discover their passions and talents.
