PE

Rationale for PE in our School:

“PE develops the children’s knowledge, skills and understanding, so that they can participate with increasing confidence in a range of competitive and non-competitive physical activities. PE promotes an understanding in children of their bodies in action. It involves thinking, selecting and applying skills as well as promoting positive attitudes towards a healthy lifestyle. Thus, we enable our children to make informed choices about the physical activities that are needed throughout their lives.” (East Bergholt School PE Policy 2014)

“We aim to provide quality physical activity opportunities both within and outside curriculum time which: consider the needs and interests of all pupils; promote positive attitudes towards participation in physical activity; enable pupils to develop a full range of basic movement skills; increase pupils’ knowledge and understanding of the importance of physical activity; provide safe and stimulating areas in which children can play and be active.” (East Bergholt School PE Policy 2014)
