Physical Education
Intent
PE is for Life!
We believe Physical Education should increase the knowledge and understanding of a variety of sports, encouraging a sport for life attitude, improving teamwork skills and promoting resilience and respect for others.
At Glade, we believe:
- PE empowers children and adults;
- PE encourages and promotes all of Glade’s core values;
- PE is important to support children to become the adults we want them to be, living the full life they deserve;
- PE is an essential part of the curriculum and a child’s development;
Implementation
Class teachers deliver a broad and balanced PE curriculum (Get Set for PE) that offers a variety of activities and sports. We also offer subsidised sports clubs after school 4 evenings a week. These are selected, with input from the school through pupil voice gathered through school council, to offer a balance of both popular sports and the opportunity to experience other, less traditional sports.
Our positive and inclusive physical education setting enables children to build self-esteem, confidence and teamwork skills. We promote good sportsmanship, fair play, respect always and celebrate success. We encourage our children to take on leadership roles during the lessons and, through our play-leader opportunities, in the whole school setting.
Competition and taking pride in our achievements is something that we believe in at Glade. We have competitive opportunities both embedded in our curriculum and through links with other schools in the Forest Heath Schools Sports Partnership.
Glade encourages children and adults to have a healthy lifestyle and live rich, full, active lives.
