PE Intent Statement

At The Hollybrook Schools we recognise the importance PE plays in the curriculum and are committed to providing all children with opportunities to engage fully in Physical Education.  The aim of our PE programme is to develop children's basic physical competencies, build confidence in their ability and build the foundations for a lifelong love of sport, physical activity and a healthy lifestyle.

PE lessons encourage the children to compete against themselves and others whilst being challenged to improve their physical, social, emotional and thinking skills.  These skills are embedded in the heart of our planning.

Our objectives in the teaching of PE align with the National Curriculum in that we aim to ensure all pupils:

• Develop the competence to excel in a broad range of physical activities
• Are physically active for sustained periods of time
• Engage in competitive sports and activities
• Lead healthy, active lives
