Physical Education & Sport

Physical Education Curriculum Intent

Martongate Primary School  recognises the value of Physical Education (P.E). We fully adhere to the aims of the national curriculum for physical education to ensure that all pupils:

  • develop 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

Physical Education at Martongate is essential to the development of motor skills (both gross and fine) and the enhancement of reflexes.  Hand-eye coordination is improved, as well as good body movements, which helps in the development of a healthy body and good posture. PE provides opportunities for pupils to become physically confident in a way which supports their health and fitness. By giving pupils the opportunities to compete in sport and other physical activities it enables pupils to build character and help embed values such as fairness and respect.

Across the school children are encouraged to develop their physical skills with a view to all children finding a sport which they can participate in and enjoy. In addition to this we aim to provide all pupils’ with:

  • The willingness to practise skills in a wide variety of activities and situations, alone, in small groups and teams and apply these skills in chosen sports with a high level of performance.
  • High levels of physical fitness, and the ability to remain physically active for a sustained period of time.
  • An understanding of how to make healthy lifestyle choices.
  • The ability to swim at least 25 metres before the end of Year 6, and the knowledge of how to remain safe in and around water.
  • Exceptional levels of originality, imagination and creativity in their techniques, tactics and choreography and an understanding of how they can improve performance.
  • A highly positive attitudes towards sport and competition, and the opportunity to represent the school in a variety of sports.

Our school is an active members of the local schools’ sports partnership group and the children participate in local sporting events and competitive games against other schools.
