Physical Education

At St John Fisher Primary school, physical education plays a vital role in helping every child develop a lifelong love of movement, sport and healthy living. Through an exciting and inclusive PE curriculum, we empower children to achieve their personal best, belong to a supportive and active community, and thrive both physically and emotionally.

⭐ Achieve

We believe every child can be successful in PE. Our lessons are structured to ensure children:

• Build essential physical skills such as balance, coordination, agility and strength
• Experience a broad range of sports and activities
• Set goals, persevere and celebrate progress
• Develop teamwork, leadership and problem-solving abilities

Children are encouraged to challenge themselves, take pride in their achievements and recognise the value of effort as well as success.

🤝 Belong

PE at our school fosters a strong sense of community, inclusion and respect. We ensure that all pupils:

• Feel welcome and valued in every lesson
• Take part in cooperative games that build friendship and trust
• Experience opportunities to represent the school in festivals, competitions and events
• Learn to support, encourage and celebrate one another

Through sport and play, children build connections and develop the confidence to participate fully.

🌱 Thrive

Our PE curriculum is designed to support children’s whole-person wellbeing. We help children to:

• Embrace active, healthy lifestyles
• Understand the importance of physical and mental wellbeing
• Build confidence, resilience and self-esteem
• Discover activities they enjoy and can pursue beyond school

From structured PE lessons to active playtimes and extra-curricular clubs, we create an environment where children can flourish.

🏃‍♀️A Broad, Balanced and Inspiring Curriculum

Our PE provision includes:

• Games, gymnastics, dance, athletics, swimming (where applicable)

• Outdoor and adventurous activities

• Inter-school competitions and sports festivals

• After-school clubs led by enthusiastic staff and specialist coaches

We aim to ignite a passion for movement that continues long after children leave us.
