Through the PE curriculum we ensure that all children are physically active for sustained periods of time. We implement the NC through both knowledge and skill based activities and promote a healthy and active lifestyle. Children are given the opportunity to engage in competitive sports and activities both inter and intra schools which builds character and helps to embed our Christian Values.

Implementation

St Mark's PE learning follows Pilgrim Progress:

We focus on the key skills of:

• Running 
• Jumping 
• Coordination 
• Balance 
• Agility 
• Throwing 
• Catching 

We also encourage pupils to:

• 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

We aim to deliver inclusive PE lessons, by ensuring our physical education curriculum both engages and inspires all young people to lead healthy and active lifestyles and broaden their experience of sport and fitness activities, regardless of any disability or need they may have.

Basing our curriculum and activities around a broad variety of sports and physical activities helps provide new, exciting experiences that will spark an interest and motivate our learners to be more physically active and enjoy the associated health and social benefits this can bring. 

Impact

We measure the impact of the PE curriculum by observing and asking the children key questions. Our Review, Teach, Practice and Apply process that is key to our curriculum is used to inform the next steps within PE.  The class teacher and sports coaches monitor the progression of each child against the Pilgrim Progress.
