At Roseberry Primary, we recognise that PE is a vital part of school life and ultimately children’s future well-being. It is therefore our intent to provide an inclusive, broad and balanced curriculum that ensures ALL children will benefit, whether through enhancing existing skills, learning new skills or being introduced to new sports, clubs, teams and organisations. These opportunities are to inspire disadvantaged pupils, support SEND and challenge gifted and talented.
We aspire to deliver high-quality teaching and learning opportunities that inspire all children to succeed in physical education and developing life skills. We want to teach children skills to keep them safe such as being able to swim. We also want to teach children how to cooperate and collaborate with others as part of an effective team, understanding fairness, equity of play to embed life-long values. Pupils are taught to understand and follow rules, techniques and tactics supported by relevant vocabulary as they progress through the school. Our curriculum aims to improve the wellbeing and fitness of all children at Roseberry Primary, not only through sporting skills taught, but through the underpinning values and disciplines PE promotes.
We are committed to providing a fun, challenging and inspiring curriculum which supports all pupils.
The aims of Physical Education (PE) at our school are that all children:
- take part in a broad range of physical activities

- are physically active for sustained periods of time
- engage in competitive sports and activities
