# Physical Education

## Physical Education

#### St Elphege’s RC Infant and Junior Schools believe that high-quality physical education curriculum inspires all pupils to succeed and excel in competitive sport and other physically demanding activities.

It should provide opportunities for pupils to become physically confident in a way which supports their health and fitness. Opportunities to compete in sport and other activities build character and help to embed values such as fairness and respect.

### Aims

At St Elphege’s we aim to:

- Teach children to be active and to gain a sense of enjoyment in the widest possible range of physical activities appropriate for their age.
- Aid development through exploring basic skills and actions in order to perform with increasing control and co-ordination.
- Support children in their development of positive attitudes to themselves, others and the environment including working together co-operatively and competitively.
- Allow children opportunities to make decisions about their own work and to act independently.
- Give scope for children to reflect on their work in order to improve it.
- Lead children to an understanding of why exercise is an essential part of healthy living.
