Intent
At Claverley, we aim to provide a high-quality physical education curriculum which inspires all pupils to succeed and excel in competitive sport and other physically-demanding activities. We provide opportunities for pupils to become physically confident in a way which supports their mental well-being, positive image and fitness. We create opportunities to compete in sport and other activities to build character and help to embed the school games values: passion; self-belief; respect; honesty; determination and teamwork.
We plan to develop a wide range of skills through the delivery of a broad PE curriculum. Children learn to understand the techniques required and in line with the PE framework for core skills, develop a knowledge of tactics and rules of the games. We actively promote an involvement in inter or intra school competitions.
The 2014 National Curriculum for Physical Education aims to ensure that all children:
• Develop competence to excel in a broad range of physical activities
• Are physically active for sustained periods of time
• Engage in competitive sports and activities
• Lead healthy, active lives
Implementation
At Claverley, the children benefit from quality teaching delivered by specialist coaches through the sports partnership.
EYFS
In Early Years, Physical Development is one of the Prime Areas of learning and is broken down into:
Moving and Handling
Health and Self-Care
Children in Early Years are encouraged in their Physical Activity in all areas of the Early Years curriculum.
Key stage 1 Physical Education teaching is organised in a way where children can:
• explore fundamental movement skills
• become increasingly competent and confident with their physical movement
• access a broad range of opportunities to extend their agility
• access a broad range of opportunities to extend their balance and co-ordination both individually and with others
• engage in competitive physical activities against themselves e.g. Personal best and with others
• engage in co-operative physical activities in a range of increasingly challenging situations
Key Stage 2 Physical Education is organised in a way where children can:
• Apply a broad range of skills e.g. in outdoor and adventurous activities both individually and in a team situation
• Learn how to use these skills in different ways e.g. through playing competitive games (modified where appropriate) such as basketball, cricket, football, hockey, netball, rounders and tennis and apply the basic principles of attacking and defending
• Learn how to link the skills to make actions and sequences of movement e.g. through dance, athletics or gymnastics to develop flexibility, strength, technique, control and balance
• Enjoy communicating, collaborating and competing with each other
• Develop an understanding of how to improve in different physical activities and sports by comparing performance with previous ones and demonstrating improvement to achieve their own personal best
• Learn how to evaluate and recognise their own success
Swimming and Water Safety in Key Stage 2
At Claverley, all children in Key Stage 2 will be provided with swimming instruction for at least half a term.
When pupils are taught:
• To swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of 25 metres.
• To use a range of strokes effectively e.g. front crawl, backstroke and breaststroke
• To perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations
Impact
The successful approach at Claverley results in high quality, challenging and engaging Physical Education which enables pupils to develop a love of sport and a thirst for their own Personal Best. The quality of provision is monitored by the PE co-ordinator who annually track children’s sporting achievements and feed this back to the Sports Partnership and into the Sainsbury Sports Kite Mark. Claverley have achieved the Platinum Award in 2012/22, 22/23 and 23/24

Children and young people aged 5 to 18 should:
- aim for an average of at least 60 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity a day across the week
- take part in a variety of types and intensities of physical activity across the week to develop movement skills, muscles and bones
- reduce the time spent sitting or lying down and break up long periods of not moving with some activity. Aim to spread activity throughout the day. All activities should make you breathe faster and feel warmer.
