Growing Healthy and Active Learners to Live in God’s World
At St Andrew’s CE Primary School, our PE curriculum is guided by our core principles of Wisdom, Grace, and Hope, grounded in the teachings of the Bible. From Nursery through to Year 6, we aim to nurture healthy, active learners who are confident, resilient, and inspired to live well in God’s world.
GROWING: It is our ambition that every St Andrew’s pupil is able to find an aspect of physical activity and sport that they love and wish to continue and develop into adulthood.
We strive to do this by delivering a high-quality PE curriculum which is taught alongside an ever-increasing range of sporting activities and opportunities.
Our PE sessions are taught within a nurturing and supportive environment which enables our learners to all receive the appropriate level of support they need in order to achieve personal success.
HEALTHY AND ACTIVE LEARNERS: Throughout the school day we encourage our children to make healthy choices and to be active as often as possible. All classes receive 2 hours of PE during curriculum time which is also supported by a range of additional activities within the curriculum as well as during both lunchtime and after-school clubs. Through their work in PE and Science the children also learn the importance of being healthy and active.
TO LIVE IN: We believe that in order for pupils to fully understand and appreciate how vital being physically active is we must ensure that they all become equipped with the appropriate sporting knowledge, skills and experiences that will make them lifelong learners in sport. We want to provide all children with the chance to thrive, not just survive in God’s world, making positive contributions to their local communities through sport.
GOD’S WORLD: Through the use of an ever widening range of sporting activities and opportunities we intend to inspire pupils to appreciate not only our British sporting legacy and heritage but also that from the wider world and other cultures. Through our annual Sports Week festival the children will all have the chance to experience new and innovative physical activities and sports that they may not otherwise have access to. This exciting opportunity also enables the children to learn about the sporting culture and traditions of different countries around the world as well as the Olympic Games and other major sporting events. We encourage our pupils to contribute to their local sporting community, providing links and access to sports clubs and teams for a range of sports.
