Physical Education Vision

At Nook Lane Junior School, children receive high-quality P.E lessons that enable them to perform, with increasing competence and confidence, in a range of physical activities. Children will be exposed to a range of different sports and physical activities including gymnastics, dance, swimming, athletics and games. We will actively encourage and provide opportunities for children to apply their skills at competitive events including both inter-school and intra-school competition. Not only should these opportunities develop physical skill but also embed Nook Lane’s Core Values by teaching children how to cooperate and collaborate with others as part of a team and understand fairness and equity of play. A Nook Lane child’s development of these skills and knowledge will be supported through a range of extra-curricular opportunities and engagement with the local community. P.E. lessons and extra-curricular activities are inclusive and staff are equipped in removing barriers to participation, ensuring a physical education for all children as well as providing an opportunity for all to attend competitive events.

Alongside the skills, knowledge and understanding of different sports and activities, children should also gain an understanding of how physical activity effects their bodies, the importance of physical activity for a healthy lifestyle and the ways in which they can improve their physical and mental wellbeing through physical activity and a healthy diet.
