Intent
At Kingslea we aim to inspire all children to succeed and excel in a broad range of physical activities. The PE curriculum is planned covering the skills and knowledge/content themes from the National Curriculum for Key Stage 1 and 2 and the EYFS Early Learning Goals for the Foundation Stage.
All planned activities are designed to help children develop the skills and control necessary to participate in physical education and sports, including competitive and non-competitive events. These activities also promote Kingslea Core 4 Values as well as good sportsmanship and fairness. We ensure that children engage in sustained physical activity, fostering both an appreciation for exercise and a lasting love of sports.
We endeavour to help the children understand that PE and sport are an important part of an active lifestyle needed for a balanced and healthy future.

Implementation
Opportunities are provided for children to take part in a range of competitive, creative and challenge-type activities, both as individuals and as part of a team or group, in this school and in a wide range of inter school competitions. Opportunities are accessible to all children throughout their time at Kingslea, with support for children with Pupil Premium (PP) and/or Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) provided in a variety of tailored ways.
The PE curriculum is regularly reviewed and developed to ensure it aligns with the National Curriculum and supports children in acquiring key knowledge, vocabulary, and skills that progress year on year. It is carefully mapped across all year groups to ensure clear and consistent development. In the Early Years, PE is delivered through dance, gymnastics, and multi-skills activities. In Key Stage 1, children build on these foundations and begin to apply their skills in small-sided games. By Key Stage 2, pupils further develop core skills and tactical awareness, applying them across a range of activities including games, gymnastics, and dance. Swimming competence is addressed in Year 3.
There is a strong and genuine love for PE and sport throughout the school. Children are offered a wide variety of activities, including opportunities to try new sports. The enthusiasm for PE is clearly demonstrated by the high demand for extra-curricular clubs. We also take part in a large number and broad range of inter-school competitions, further enriching the sporting experience for our pupils and where children can earn Colours.
Part of the School Sport Premium has been used to employ a sports coach and a sports apprentice, enhancing and developing our PE and sport provision. This has provided opportunities for all pupils to experience high-quality PE through team teaching and a range of extra-curricular clubs.

Impact
|
By the end of KS2 children have built their skills in teamwork, paired work and individual performance at Kingslea.
|
|
They have experienced and participated in a wide range of sports and activities throughout their time at Kingslea. Therefore, the PE and sport that the children create and perform at Kingslea is of a high standard.
The ongoing impact of our PE Curriculum is clearly reflected through pupil feedback and their awareness of personal progress, as well as the positive influence they can have on others—especially in leadership roles such as Little Leaders, Play Leaders and PE Monitors. Conversations with the children and observations of lessons reveal a strong understanding of the skills they have previously learnt, how new skills build on this foundation, and the direction of their development. Pupils are able to evaluate their own and others’ work and identify ways to improve. Throughout their time at Kingslea, all children have access to a wide range of extracurricular clubs and opportunities to represent the school in various festivals and competitions. The Colours they earn symbolise the experiences they have had and are proudly worn as a mark of achievement.
