Walverden Primary School

Physical Education

Our Physical Education curriculum aims to develop confident, active and healthy children who enjoy being physically active and understand the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle. From Nursery and Reception, children build their fundamental movement skills through activities such as balancing, gymnastics, throwing and rolling. As they progress through the school, pupils develop their skills across a wide range of sports and physical activities, including dance, gymnastics, athletics, invasion games, net and wall games, striking and fielding games, outdoor adventure activities and swimming. Children learn to work individually and as part of a team, develop resilience and sportsmanship, and apply tactical thinking in a variety of competitive and cooperative situations. Through high-quality PE lessons, pupils gain the knowledge, skills and confidence to participate in physical activity both in school and beyond, promoting lifelong health and well-being.
