Investors in Children
Physical Education
The National Curriculum for Physical Education details a clear 'Purpose of Study' and 'Subject Content' for KS1 and KS2 (See details below). At Four Swannes we have produced progression documents, from which teachers plan. These documents not only detail the journey children will go on in this subject but also the high expectations we set, and the opportunities we provide in gymnastics, dance and games. We place strong emphasis on 'healthy lifestyles' and general fitness. Part of our commitment to ensuring our pupils are physically active is our initiative of the 'Daily Mile'.
We have employed a specialist Sports Coach, Mrs Allcock, through the Sports Premium funding allocated to us. Mrs Allcock works with us throughout the week, team teaching Physical Education throughout the school supporting the CPD of staff members.
This enhanced provision for the teaching of sport within the school will have the following benefits:
