Statement of Intent

At Rockbeare CE Primary School, we recognise the importance of physical activity, and we aim to provide a PE curriculum that pupils from EYFS to Year 6 not only enjoy but one that also allows them to experience a range of activities that help them to develop their health, fitness and wellbeing. We intend to offer a high-quality physical education curriculum that inspires all pupils to succeed and excel in competitive sport and other physically-demanding activities. It provides 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. We are fully committed to achieving to the aims of the national curriculum for physical education to ensure that all children:

• develop competence to excel in a broad range of physical activities
• are physically active for sustained periods of time
• engage in competitive sports and activities
• lead healthy, active lives
• develop competency and knowledge of water safety
• Engage and have an understanding of diversity on a local, national and global level
