Intent Implementation and Impact

Ivington CE Primary School’s PE Vision

Intent

At Ivington CE Primary School we recognise the importance of an inspiring PE curriculum which promotes physical health and fitness, participation and a healthy lifestyle. The intent of our PE curriculum adheres to the aims of the National Curriculum ensuring that we provide opportunities for all pupils to become physically confident and supporting them to succeed in developing their own health, fitness and well-being. Our PE curriculum encourages children to succeed in physical activities, cooperate and collaborate with others and embed fairness and respect as well as evaluate and improve their performance. We aim to deliver high quality teaching and learning opportunities that inspire all children to succeed in physical activities.

Aims of Physical Education

Through physical education and sport we aim:

• To improve health and wellbeing.
• To promote positive attitudes towards active participation and lifelong learning.
• For each child to fulfil their potential

Implementation

Pupils at Ivington CE Primary School participate in weekly high-quality PE and sporting activities. Through the use of PrimaryPEPlanning children are taught through a broad, holistic approach to physical activity where the aim is to develop the ‘whole child’. The scheme provides an engaging curriculum which implements a learning journey developing the whole child. Children are encouraged to take leadership of their learning and assess activity levels throughout the lesson. We also provide a range of opportunities for children to engage in extracurricular activities during and after school including football, multi-skills, cricket, and rounders. This is an inclusive approach which endeavours to encourage not only physical development but also well-being and enjoyment.

We recognise the fact that there are children of widely different abilities in all classes, and we provide suitable learning opportunities for all children by matching the challenge of the task to the ability of the child. We achieve this by:

• setting tasks of increasing difficulty, some children not completing all tasks;
• sometimes grouping children by ability, and setting different tasks to each ability group;
• providing resources of different complexity, according to the ability of the child;
• using classroom assistants to support the work of individual children or groups of children.

IMPLEMENTATION- SEN Provision:

Engagement

To ensure that children with SEN are able to fully engage with the Physical Education curriculum, the following measures are taken at Ivington CE Primary and Pre-school:

• Positive relationships are maintained between children and staff – Teaching Assistant and teacher support are provided.
• Teachers ensure the right environment for learning Physical Education.

Access

At Ivington CE Primary and Pre-school, children with SEN are able to fully access the Physical Education curriculum.

Such principles include:

• Explicit instruction
• Cognitive and metacognitive strategies
• Scaffolding
• Flexible grouping- mixed ability groupings, targeted interventions that meet the individual needs of children, effective use of TA’s
• Using technology.

IMPLEMENTATION AND IMPACT – Assessment, Monitoring and Evidence:

Teachers monitor each child’s progress using formative assessment and adjust their teaching accordingly to suit the needs of individuals. Teachers then assess their class against specifications for each unit of learning, using the PrimaryPEPlanning assessment tool to record summative assessment. Teachers assess the children as being at the developing, secure or exceeding standard of development. Children are interviewed on an informal basis during lesson observations by the Physical Education Subject Leader, to gauge pupil’s opinions about the teaching and the understanding of skills learned. Long term and medium-term Physical Education plans are monitored on a termly basis by the Subject Leader to ensure full curriculum coverage. Governors are informed of progress and impact on children’s learning in Physical Education through the presentation of a yearly School Improvement Plan, incorporating each subject area.
