PE

It is not important to be better than someone else, but to be better than you were yesterday.” Jigoro Kano

 

It is our school vision to ‘Celebrate learning together through faith, hope and love’ (1 Corinthians 13:13). Physical Education is an important way in which we achieve this. PE at Bishop Perrin creates an environment where all pupils, regardless of their physical abilities, backgrounds, or needs, can fully participate in physical activities. It provides opportunities for children to learn in an environment where all pupils, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, physical ability, or cultural background, feel welcomed, supported, and empowered to participate in PE in a way that enables them to achieve their personal best. Promoting diversity in sport not only fosters equality but also enhances the learning experience for all pupils.

 

PE Subject Progression Framework

 

Our PE curriculum at Bishop Perrin School is designed to enable all children to experience a range and breadth of sporting and physical opportunities that are enjoyable and challenging. Our curriculum is progressive, building on the skills and knowledge developed in previous years. Through our curriculum, we intend that pupils will be physically active, learn how sport can enable them to live healthy and active lives and help them discover a sport or activity that they enjoy and can progress further in, as they get older.

Our PE curriculum is designed to allow all pupils to develop and become competent in core skills, which they can build upon as they move through the school. They will have opportunities to take part in physically demanding activities and competitive team sports, all of which link with our School Values of Friendship, Endurance, Koinonia (fellowship), Trust and Justice. PE at Bishop Perrin School is a key subject in our whole-school curriculum and it is valued for its ability to develop resilience, co-operation, collaboration, a growth mind-set, and respect for rules, equality and fair play. It is fundamental in teaching our children the importance of a healthy life style (both physically and mentally) and life-long values. We follow the Get Set 4 PE programme.
