St Clement’s CEP PE curriculum supports pupils to meet the requirements of the Foundation Stage Profile and the National Curriculum end of key stage attainment targets. We support every child to explore, experience and participate in Physical Education, and to make links to other areas of the curriculum to further develop their understanding. They express their growing substantive knowledge through the demonstration of their disciplinary knowledge by explaining the scientific biological impact of sports of the body and reason for warming up and cooling down, as well as executing the rules of a range of sports, gymnastics and dance techniques. We see PE as a means of evolving metacognitive skills and schemas about the way our bodies work and the impact of a healthy lifestyle.
“I believe in myself.” – Muhammad Ali.
The progressive curriculum develops aspects of PE over time. Each unit consists of a 6-session sequence of learning experiences which offer supportive progression, with subject specific language at the heart of each experience. This enriches knowledge about PE, and encourages knowledge through experiential learning. The supportive progression develops with the children as they travel through the school. The children are exposed to the knowledge of past and present sporting personalities from a range of differing sports.

Go on and do all you can with it, and make it the life you want to live.
