PE
Intent
At Leigh Primary School we offer a high-quality physical curriculum that develops key characteristics that will help children take care of their physical health and mental wellbeing. We intend for our children to discover and develop freedom of play; to be physically active and to have a sense of physical identity. We want children to apply and show excellence in skills such as listening, observing, questioning and reflection. We aim to develop attitudes, positive dispositions, physical skilfulness, decision making and good physical condition. At Leigh we offer a breadth of activity, utilising the ‘Complete PE’ design, planning and assessment. Our expectation of learning begins at EYFS all the way growth, health and wellbeing. All children have the opportunity to become part of a club/competition as a participant, for leadership, organisation and volunteering.
afPE
The Association for Physical Education (afPE) is the PE Subject Association in the UK.
We are committed to being the representative agency of choice for people and organisations delivering or supporting the delivery of physical education, school sport and physical activity in educational contexts and in the wider community. Our work includes developing physical education related policy and related statements, responding to consultations, providing resources, outstanding professional learning across the sector, meeting with representatives from partner organisations and political representatives, and promoting the subject in a variety of forums. Our purpose is to promote and maintain high standards and safe practice in all aspects and at all levels of physical education, school sport and physical activity, influencing developments at national and local levels that will impact on pupils’ physical health and emotional well-being.
