At Two Moors Primary School, our aim is to provide a Physical Education (PE) curriculum that ensures all pupils achieve the aims of the National Curriculum through a broad, balanced and progressive approach. We teach the skills that the children need to participate in different sports as well as the sports themselves. 

As well as encouraging the children to be physically active, PE lessons also give the children opportunities to develop their communication skills, mindset and wellbeing, with regular exercise improving the area of the brain linked with learning and memory and helping to reduce anxiety. 

By encouraging the children to be active, we are supporting their emotional wellbeing and mental health. Children must understand how to take care of themselves both physically and mentally in order to be healthy and successful later in life. 

Providing the children with the opportunities to engage in different sports through PE lessons and after school clubs, encourages them to appreciate different sports and cultures which help them become global learners.  

We offer a progressive curriculum that provides depth and challenge, that covers the National Curriculum and is based on the scheme 'Complete PE'. All children receive two hours of quality physical education per week. The range of sports, after school clubs and competitions the children have access to, allows them the opportunity to develop their confidence in attempting new challenges as well as developing character. 

The majority of PE is taught discretely using Complete PE; however, some dance links can be made to other topics and some sections of PE can be linked with the science curriculum. Pupils acquire new knowledge and skills, that are practised in a range of different activities. 

Pupils work towards a high level of fitness and can understand the health benefits this promotes their well-being and long term health. We encourage pupils to take leadership roles and use imagination and creativity in the techniques that they use. We enter inter- school competitions, both within the TCLP and with other local primary schools, to allow the children opportunities to use the skills they have learnt in match situations. This also allows them to enjoy competing in sports and representing the school, as well as developing their confidence in the sports and knowledge of the skills and rules of the games. 

We are incredibly lucky to have our own on-site swimming pool which all year groups from Reception to Year 6 use to help them develop their swimming skills and technique. 

During a PE lesson, children will have fun, be enthusiastic and enjoy the tasks, in order to develop fundamental skills which can then be applied when playing specific sports or transfer them to other lessons. We use immediate verbal feedback to allow children the opportunity to amend and develop their skills immediately within the lesson. The assessment milestones for each phase have been carefully mapped out and further broken down for each year group. This means that skills in PE are progressive and build year on year. Through this, pupils develop a breadth and depth of knowledge of the sports and fundamental skills required to develop balanced, healthy and active lives.
