Impact
Our PE Curriculum is high quality, well thought out and is planned to demonstrate progression. If children are keeping up with the curriculum, they are deemed to be making good or better progress.
In addition, we measure the impact of our curriculum through the following methods: A reflection on standards achieved against the planned outcom
Regular meetings with PE staff to monitor impact and coverage, key children identified and planned for;
PE and Well-Being is One of Our School’s Curriculum Focus
At New Village, PE is one of our key curriculum drivers. We think that if children are going to learn and thrive and meet their potential then they need to have fit and healthy bodies and minds.
All children at our school receive at least 2 hours of PE each week. They are able to learn skills, take part in tournaments, experience new sports or activities and take part in after-school sports activities. We use specialist sports coached to deliver some of our PE curriculum so that your children receive the very best that is on offer.
In Year 5, the children attend swimming lessons, therefore, they will be in receipt of more than the normal 2 hours PE time.
