Physical Education at Kingsacre
It is our intention at Kingsacre Primary School to build a curriculum that enables children to develop knowledge, skills and vocabulary in a broad range of sporting activities, as well as developing values and transferable life skills such as fairness and respect. We strive to create a culture, which aims to inspire an active generation to enjoy PE, encourage each other and achieve.
A sports person from Kingsacre Primary School will:
- Develop their physical competence and confidence and develop their ability to use these to perform in a range of activities
- Develop a good understanding of the way in which they can use their body, equipment and apparatus safely yet imaginatively to achieve their personal goals
- Lead a healthy, active lifestyle
- Be physically active for sustained periods of time
- Engage in competitive sports and activities
- Adopt a positive mind-set and believe that anything can be achieved with determination and resilience
PHYSICAL EDUCATION IN EYFS
Physical Development - Moving and Handling
Physical Education in the EYFS at Kingsacre is central to supporting children’s health, confidence, and coordination. Through topic-based and play-led learning, children develop their fine and gross motor skills in a fun, supportive environment.
Our children are encouraged to move in different ways - running, jumping, balancing, climbing, and dancing - while also learning control and spatial awareness. They explore how their bodies move and begin to understand the importance of keeping active and healthy.
Both indoor and outdoor spaces are equipped with engaging resources to support physical exploration. Obstacle courses, climbing equipment, bikes, and large construction materials inspire movement, teamwork, and problem-solving. Fine motor activities such as threading, cutting, and mark-making also strengthen control and dexterity.
At Kingsacre, we encourage children to enjoy being active and to persevere when learning new skills. They develop coordination, balance, and strength, as well as confidence and a positive attitude towards physical activity. Through movement, children build resilience, independence, and joy in their achievements.
Children will achieve the following Early Learning Goals:
-
Personal, Social and Emotional Development: Builds confidence, perseverance, and teamwork.
