PE Subject Leader: Miss Long

Link Governor: Rosie Law

Our PE Curriculum and wider physical activity provides lots of opportunities for children to live out our values of Respect, Friendship, Honesty, Perseverance, Responsibility and Thankfulness.

The wide range of provision supports us in providing ‘A Bright Future for all’ and ‘Life in all its fullness’ John 10:10.

DfE Vision: All pupils leave primary school physically literate and with the knowledge, skills and motivation necessary to equip them for a healthy, active lifestyle and lifelong participation in physical activity and sport.

At Broad Town School we feel that it is important to encourage healthy lifestyles amongst our children and believe in the power of sport to promote a range of learning and social skills and to develop self esteem. In view of this we provide all of our children with a rich and varied P.E. curriculum which includes some specialist coaching as well as a range of special sporting events and the opportunity to take part in a range of active after school clubs.

PE also provides opportunities for the children to demonstrate their gem powers.

Sport for Champions

On Thursday 13th January, we had a visit from Harry, George Owen who is an international gymnast.

Harry led the children through a sponsored healthy lifestyle challenge which included four fitness exercises.

 After break, Harry led an inspirational talk and shared some of his skills with the school.

This really was a positive experience to encourage children to become more actively involved in sport.
