‘Be The Best You Can Be’
Intent
At The Ellis Primary School our vision for Physical Education and Sport is that every child should have the opportunity to take part in physical activity on a regular basis and become more physically confident and competent. We hope that, through all the sporting opportunities and physical activity we offer, the children will potentially develop a love and passion for sport and continue this into their later lives.
Implementation
To keep the children healthy and active we aim to provide at least two hours of fun, exciting and active PE lessons weekly and at least 30 minutes of physical activity daily alongside educating them on a healthy, balanced diet and lifestyle.
At The Ellis, we also strive to offer as many children as possible the opportunity to compete in a variety of competitions, either during school time or by representing the school at local events. We hope that in doing so the children will develop greater confidence, team work and learn to win or lose with grace and sportsmanship.
It is also of paramount importance that we create sporting leaders during the children’s time at The Ellis. We aim to offer lots of children the opportunity to lead sporting activities, organise games and events and learn to lead by example. By emphasising leadership, we hope the children learn the importance of communication, organisation, team work, resilience, perseverance and a respect for rules.
Impact
We regularly assess children against age related expectations and allow opportunities for all children at all stages of their development. We encourage and support our gifted and talented children by providing trips to outstanding local training arenas for taster days and provide active interventions such as Jump Ahead for children who havent secured their gross and fine motor skills. PE and Sport are a proud part of The Ellis experience and we hope that this continues to grow in the future and prepare our children for life after primary school.
