PE

At Kanes Hill Primary School, we aim to develop children’s physical skills, confidence, and lifelong love of activity. Using the REAL PE programme, pupils learn not only how to be active but also how to collaborate, problem-solve, and develop resilience through movement.

Curriculum Statement

Intent

At Kanes Hill Primary School, we aim to ensure that all pupils are fit, healthy and physically active. We deliver a high-quality physical education curriculum as well as offering an extensive range of inclusive physical activities and competitive sporting opportunities, which inspire and engage pupils: enabling them to begin their journey towards lifelong health and fitness. We believe that the rich and broad experiences that our pupils enjoy allow them to become confident, creative and collaborative individuals, who know how to lead a healthy lifestyle. P.E. at Kanes Hill is unique in its ability to develop the whole child; it develops social skills, builds self-esteem and helps to embed values such as fairness, integrity and respect.

Implementation

Using the National Curriculum, we will ensure that children receive a rich physical education curriculum that builds on skills and knowledge from Year R to Year 6. Real P.E. lessons are taught weekly: each week the children further develop their skills, knowledge and understanding and are given opportunities to apply these. Gymnastics and dance are taught alternate half-terms. Dance is often linked to the children’s topic to develop cross-curricular links whilst keeping the subject’s integrity at the forefront. Whilst gymnastics focusses on developing the children’s fundamental movement skills, ensuring they can perform physical movements effectively. Throughout the year, a specialist sports coach, from the Saints Foundation, will work with 3 teachers providing continued professional development. They will work together to deliver lessons that combine Real P.E. with elements from traditional games; ensuring the very best outcomes for the children.

Physical Education

All P.E. lessons ensure that children gain a deep understanding in an environment that is full of positive energy and challenge. Pupils are encouraged to reflect on their own performance and question the sustainability of the activities they are doing. Through Real P.E. in Key Stage 1, pupils develop the Fundamental Movement Skills, become increasingly competent and confident and access a broad range of opportunities to extend their agility, balance and coordination, individually and with others. They engage in competitive (both against self and against others) and cooperative physical activities, in a range of increasingly challenging situations. As they continue through Key Stage 2, pupils continue to apply and develop a broader range of skills, learning how to use them in different ways and to link them to make actions and sequences of movement. They enjoy communicating, collaborating and competing with each other. They develop an understanding of how to improve in different physical activities and sports and learn how to evaluate and recognise success. At Kanes Hill we recognise the benefits of outdoor pursuits and offer the children the opportunity to attend a residential during Year 4 and Year 6. During these off-site trips, the children gain confidence and build self-esteem competing in a range of adventurous activities such as abseiling, archery and climbing. They gain confidence and learn to make decisions and take risks; these skills transfer well into the classroom. All pupils take part in orienteering within the school grounds. All children in Year 5 have a terms worth of swimming lessons at The Quays with qualified coaches ensuring that they all meet the government expectation of being able to swim 25m by the time they leave primary school.

Physical Activity

Enrichment and enjoyment is at the heart of what we do. Throughout the year, we invite a range of visitors in to inspire the children. Sport Solent offer fantastic inclusive opportunities within the school day such as the dance mats, obstacle course and sports road show. We also offer a wide range of after-school clubs such as football, multi-skills and team games. We encourage all of our pupils to be physically active at breaktime and lunchtime and have a sports coach on the playground organising team games which promote our school values. At Kanes Hill we believe that children learn best when they are actively involved in their learning. Where appropriate we take children outside or into the hall to allow them to do this. For example, in science, the children may be asked to create the solar system with their bodies. Active maths lessons are taught to allow children to revise their times tables and number facts knowledge in a fun and engaging way.

School Sport

At Kanes Hill we believe that all children should experience competitive sport. Every pupil has the opportunity to do this during their weekly P.E. lessons whether it’s competing against themselves and achieving personal bests or against others. Each year we have our School Sports Day. During this day, the children compete in their house teams in a range of athletic activities. From Year 1 onwards every child is offered the chance to represent the school in a competition / festival. These events take place off-site and are an excellent way for children to build their confidence and apply the skills they have learnt, against children from other schools. Children who demonstrate an aptitude for these sports are then signposted to a suitable club in the local area. At Kanes Hill we have an excellent girls’ and boys’ football team, who train weekly and are extremely successful in the Southampton Schools’ League.
