PE- Curriculum Intent

At Gurnard Primary School, our vision for Physical Education is that every child should have the opportunity to develop their physical confidence and competence to enjoy being active both within and outside of school. We aim to provide a high-quality physical education curriculum that inspires all our pupils to succeed and excel in competitive sport and other physically demanding activities. We also strive to give as many children as possible the opportunity to participate in a variety of competitive sports during their school life, giving them the prospect of understanding what competition feels like, what it is to work as a team and how to show resilience through different challenges. It is also important that our children ‘learn to lead’ and therefore we offer all our children the opportunity to lead activities in their school life. Leadership gives children the understanding of what it is like to have responsibility, to show respect for rules and brings the added challenge of organisation, communication and teamwork. We hope that all these opportunities will help our children to develop into well-rounded and balanced individuals all set for life’s challenges.
