Physical Education
| To be light (living in our community and reaching out beyond it) bringing out the God-colours in the world.’ |
Jesus said, ‘You’re here to be light, bringing out the God-colours in the world.’ Matthew 5:16
Our curriculum is ambitious for our children and is based on the National Curriculum. Nevertheless, we recognise that this is the minimum entitlement for our children. Each subject is taught as a discrete discipline. Whilst developing our curriculum, links were considered very carefully to build on knowledge and skills within each subject, across the school and across subjects. We also carefully considered our local context, diversity, environmental awareness and health education when designing our curriculum.
Physical Education
The overarching aim for Physical Education at The Nethersole Church of England Academy is to ensure that we inspire EVERY child to be passionate about Physical Education and Sport, while bringing PE to the heart of the school.
Our children will develop a love of movement and physical activity from the earliest stages, beginning in Nursery and continuing throughout their primary years. We provide opportunities for children to explore how their bodies move, grow and stay healthy, helping them to build confidence, resilience and enjoy being active.
From early years onwards, children learn to move with increasing control and coordination through play, dance, games and outdoor exploration. As they grow, they begin to understand the importance of physical activity for their health and well-being and how it can help them feel strong, focused and happy.
We encourage children to work together, challenge themselves and celebrate their achievements – whether through team sports, individual goals or creative movement. They learn to show respect, fairness and empathy, both in competition and collaboration.
Through PE, our children will develop not only physical skills but also character and values that reflect our Christian ethos. They will learn to care for their bodies, persevere through challenges and support others-living out our school vision by letting their light shine in all they do.
