PE Curriculum Intent Statement

At Selside School, we recognise the role that PE has to play in promoting a long-term healthy lifestyle which is both enjoyable and fulfilling. PE is used as a vehicle to support both the physical and mental well-being of our children. At Selside School we aim to provide a high-quality physical education curriculum that follows and fulfils the National Curriculum requirements. PE at Selside School has long term plans which are coherently sequenced and planned, providing both a clear progression of skills and a framework that can be adapted to meet the needs of all children. Through an ambitious curriculum, lesson time, specialist coaching and our broad range of sports clubs, we support pupils in developing a skilful use of the body. At Selside School, we aim for all pupils to be physically literate and to have the knowledge, skills and cultural capital necessary to enable them to succeed in a healthy, active lifestyle and lifelong participation in physical activity and sport.

At Selside School we also recognise the vital role PE has to play in the holistic development of the children. Our core Values respect, courage and friendship are reflected in every lesson. Finally, we understand that PE, physical activity and school sport make an extensive contribution towards aspects of pupils’ social, moral, spiritual and cultural development and so we strive to make the children aware of vital components of PE such as determination, persistence and resilience which we aim to translate in to all other subjects across our broad and balanced curriculum. We aim to constantly improve our enrichment and cultural capital offering:
