At St Augustine’s we deliver a high-quality physical education curriculum inspiring all pupils to succeed and excel in competitive sport and other physically-demanding activities. We provide opportunities for pupils to become physically confident in a way which supports their health and fitness. Opportunities to compete in sport and other activities build character and help to embed values such as fairness and respect. At St Augustine’s, PE is a key subject for a child’s overall development, wellbeing and education.

Our inspiring lessons are delivered through the GetSet4PE scheme of work and all lessons are taught by a PE specialist from Let’s Leap Sports Academy. Through liaising with our specialist teacher at Let’s Leap, we were able to design a curriculum that matched our vision and targeted outcomes that specifically catered to the needs of our pupils. Pupils in Year 1-5 partake in 2hours of PE every week, Year 6 partake in 1 hour of weekly lessons and are accessing swimming lessons for the other hour, and Reception have 30minutes a week with our specialist teacher. There are also two mixed sports after school clubs available each week for pupils in Year 1-6.

The unit’s scheme of work has been put together to allow children to develop techniques, teaming building and engaging activities to access the skills and knowledge required to achieve a final unit outcome. Throughout the year, children are taught to play football, tag rugby, hockey, tennis, cricket, netball, basketball, athletics, dance and gymnastics. Our specialist teacher is confident in delivering lessons that build upon knowledge and skills, securing pupils with a foundation to access their next phase of learning. Let’s Leap ensure they provide a specialist who is confident in teaching the Early Learning Goals, KS1 and KS2 National Curriculum outcomes, but feel proud of giving our pupils a motivating and memorable journey beyond just these standards.
