The Ellis PE and Sport Curriculum

Link to Primary National Curriculum PE

Our high quality PE curriculum which we deliver offers a wide variety of activities both in and out of curriculum time.  Children learn that being active is fun and an essential part of a healthy lifestyle.  At the beginning of their school life children learn and explore basic movement skills, they develop these skills throughout their time at The Ellis and leave as confident movers able to play a wide range of sports.  Over the past few years we have achieved many awards in sport and have maintained the School Games Gold Award for 3 years running. 

At Foundation Stage and Key Stage One children experience dance, games, athletics, gymnastics and lessons in fundamental movement and multi-skills. At Key Stage Two, in addition to those taught earlier, pupils also have lessons in swimming and outdoor and adventurous activities.

All children are encouraged to be active in addition to PE time.  Children who attend breakfast club partake in games before school.  Lunchtime supervisors have been trained as adult playground leaders and provide opportunities for additional physical activity at lunch.  

We have an official orienteering course mapped out around our school grounds and have hosted events in this within our cluster.  We also have 2 forest school trained members of staff.
