Physical Education

At Beacon View Primary Academy, we aim to develop pupils who recognise the value of being physically active and how it contributes to mental health and physical well-being. 

The aims of our PE curriculum are to develop pupils who: 

• Can demonstrate attributes of: being a team player; showing respect; fairness; ability to encourage others; work collaboratively to achieve success.
• Are willing to practise skills in a range of different activities and situations - alone, in small groups and in teams, and to apply these skills in chosen activities to achieve exceptionally high levels of performance
• Employ their own imaginations and creativity in techniques, tactics and choreography
• Can show resilience when facing a barrier in sport and use strategies to overcome this
• Have a keen interest in PE - a willingness to participate eagerly in every lesson and make informed choices about engaging fully in extracurricular activities
• To use initiative and become excellent young leaders, organising and officiating, and evaluating what needs to be done to improve, and motivating and instilling excellent sporting attitudes in others
• Can swim at least 25 metres before the end of year six and know how to remain safe in and around water 

As a school we use the PE planning curriculum and within it, the three vertical concepts: 

• Fit to perform 
• Fit to lead
• Fit for life 

 These skills are taught through a wide range of activities.

Our taught PE curriculum is further supported by a full range of extra-curricular activities, these include both individual and team sports.

We are supported by Coach Ash from Greenhouse Sports who; teaches alongside class staff, supports pupils 1:1 and in small groups to build confidence and skills, leads a number of clubs and lunchtime activities and also takes children to Festivals across the city.
