Researching Physical Education
Intent:
At Little Green we aim to ensure children are physically active throughout every day. PE, physical activity, Sport and play opportunities and learning are not only explored through our PE curriculum but are valued across all aspects of school life and learning. PE is a fundamental way of supporting children’s wellbeing, confidence and team building skills. All of our learning experiences help the children set personal goals and support their personal development.
Our Intent is to offer a range of opportunities to inspire children to be physically active in their everyday lives and ensure they are challenged to improve their skills, fitness and ability to lead a healthy lifestyle. We encourage active learning across all areas of the curriculum.

We are delighted with the ongoing sports successes we are achieving this year. We are also aware that it may be perceived that we only promote sport for a select few children. Whilst we embrace the importance of exposing children to honest competition and selection - real life - we are also committed to ensuring all children have a great range and experience of sporting experiences across their time with us. Through our Sports Partnership and wonderful PE provision driven by Miss Sedgwick, Miss Muckell and Mr Rivers, we offer the following:
2 intra-year competitions every term (class trophies- see website)
1 year group school sport partnership family competition per year (Cricket - Y6, Fun Run - Y5, Tri Golf - Y4, Athletics - Y3)
Over 50 different children across Year 5 + Year 6 involved in a sports team/event versus other schools or internal matches
Our sports teams focus on 'Compete' mindset where highest performing children in those sports are selected - This year: 1x National Final, 1x Regional Final, 2x County Finals, 7x District Finals, 4x Partnership League Titles!

On the last day before half term, Little Green competed in the Three Rivers & Watford District Tag Rugby Final at St Joan of Arc School.
The team played really well and battled hard against some tough opponents, unfortunately it wasn't to be their day, losing 2 matches and winning once in their final game. The group worked so hard to get to the District final and can be so proud of their 3rd place finish after a great season of Tag Rugby.
Little Green went to Oaklands College in St Albans on Wednesday and spent the day at the Hertfordshire County Hockey Final. The team played 9 matches across the day and were looking to do their very best to represent the Three Rivers & Watford District after winning the District final last month.
A final tally of 28pts gave us 4th place and secured a fantastic achievement for the group to be one of the top teams from across the county.
