At Streethay, we want our physical education to support each child’s holistic development and we believe that every child should have the right to lead a healthy and active lifestyle. At Streethay, we recognise the importance that a high-quality PE curriculum, sporting and active lifestyle provision can bring to enriching pupils’ lives. In line with the National Curriculum, we will 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; and lead healthy, active lives.
Beyond the National Curriculum we believe that physical education is important for our children’s physical health, their mental health, and their social development. At Streethay our physical education curriculum develops each of these three things, and we aim to provide pupils with the knowledge, understanding and skills needed to become physically literate.
Our physical education provision is led by specialist sport teachers, to ensure children will have the opportunity to develop their physical ability, to keep their mind and body healthy, and to become reflective and collaborative team players. Through cooperation and collaboration with others, we aim to teach children to work well as part of an effective team and understand fairness and equity of play to embed life-long values. At Streethay, we intend to nurture a love for being physically active, and provide children with rich, exciting, and varied physical education that challenges, engages, and encourages children to demonstrate excellence.
