PE
At Highfield Farm Primary School we view Physical Education as an integral starting point to our children’s physical and mental wellbeing. Our high-quality curriculum will provide the children with the essential knowledge and skills to inform their own healthy, active lifestyle choices. Our view is that PE will make our lives better and our curriculum reflects this.
Our carefully balanced curriculum provides opportunities for all out children to make informed decisions about healthy lifestyles as they grow older. A carefully sequenced blend of physical literacy is taught alongside sporting activities that are more traditional. The fundamental movement skills are carefully sequenced enabling children to feel competent and confident as they participate in sporting activities. They provide the bedrock for games that involve rules, strategies and tactics which, in turn, enables them to participate in healthy competition.
At Highfield Farm, PE is regarded as an entitlement to all. Careful considerations are made to provide highly inclusive sessions, with appropriate support put in place and informed by specialists when needed.
Our Core PE offer is complimented by our extensive enrichment programme of sporting activities. This is delivered by school staff or specialist coaches and offered to all children from Foundation stage up to year 6. This includes opportunities to participate in competitions against other schools in activities such as: football, tag rugby, cross country, cricket as well as less known activities.
