PE
At St Paul’s, we want our children to love physical education, and take part in a wide range of sporting activities. We are passionate and committed to ensuring that the children have no limits to what their ambitions are. We aim to enhance the children’s confidence when determining where they want their physical education to take them in the future, whether that be a personal trainer, nutritionist, sports journalist or even a gold medal winner. We believe that through the providing of positive experiences in physical activity, a lifelong interest is stimulated, which ultimately encourages a continuation into a healthy adult life for all our children. We expose the children to sports by delivering a vast range of activities, which cover all aspects of the PE National Curriculum. Our whole school approach provides an array of opportunities to be both physically active and to support learning, and this applies to all children in school. This is regardless of age, gender, race and faith. As a school, we believe that through experiences of a broad, balanced and progressive PE curriculum, the children will continue to have the motivation, confidence, physical competence, subject specific knowledge and understanding to value and take ownership for their engagement in sports. Physical activity not only improves health, reduces stress and improves concentration, but also promotes correct physical growth and development.

During playtimes and lunchtimes at St Paul’s, we encourage the children to engage in physical activity and games to ensure there is an engagement in at least 60 minutes of physical activity a day. We have a 'trim trail' which the children have access to during play and lunch times. We promote the daily mile within school using our track on the field and make lessons practical, where appropriate, to support this further.
-
Our participation within sporting events raises the profile of PE further, and creates even more enjoyment out of physical activity. This closely links with our intent of allowing all our children to be physically active for life and understand the benefits and purpose of this.
