Intent

In PE, we provide engaging and challenging activities that help to inspire children of all different levels to be active and to lead healthy lives. We aim to grow the whole child through our PE curriculum, by focusing on a wide variety of knowledge and skills that will help children to develop physically, mentally and socially. Within lessons, EYFS concentrate on the prime area of physical development and KS1 cement basic skills like throwing, catching, jumping and moving in different ways. In KS2, children continue to build upon and develop these core skills, alongside the rules and tactics of the sports as they apply them in a range of competitive sports and other physically demanding activities. At all ages, we aim to support our pupils in becoming physically confident, whilst building and embedding the values of honesty, friendship, respect, teamwork, perseverance and responsibility. Children at Mickley are given the opportunities to experience a number of different sports, these opportunities and experiences encourage them to aspire and achieve.
