PHYSICAL EDUCATION
At Chilton Primary School, we aim to inspire children to lead healthy, active lifestyles through the teaching of a broad range of activities in Physical Education and Physical Activity. In this way, we hope to engage our children in competitive sports both in and out of school hours. Our extensive curriculum challenges learners to excel in all strands of PE and provides opportunities for children to collaborate to become more self-confident. As a result, children embed the values of our school and the importance of staying fit through the enjoyment of Physical Education and Physical Activity.
To enhance the teaching of PE and sport, we also promote the School Games values, which has a large influence during our School Games Day:
-
Determination
-
Honesty
-
Passion
-
Respect
-
Self-belief
-
Team Work
Our Physical Education curriculum is led by Miss Knight (lead coach) and Mr Cook (lead teacher) who are supported by our coaches, Mr Arthur and Mr Keam. We ensure that PE is taught in high quality blocks of learning. This allows progression of skills and lessons that can be effectively differentiated to nurture and support all children, no matter their skill or confidence levels.
Children from Year 3 to 6 swim for a term at Upton swimming pool. These lessons are delivered by qualified swimming instructors.
In the summer term, Year 5 and 6 children are also offered the option of surfing and water sports and safety lessons.
