Welcome to Hadlow's PE

PE Curriculum

Hadlow Primary School will provide a high-quality physical education curriculum that inspires all pupils to succeed and excel in competitive sport and other physically demanding activities. The school will provide opportunities for all pupils to become physically confident in a way which supports their health and fitness. We will provide all children with opportunities to compete in sport and take part in other activities that build character and help to embed values such as fairness and respect.

At Hadlow Primary School, we implement a fundamental movement skills based curriculum. Fundamental movement skills are movement patterns that involve different body parts, such as the legs, arms and head. This enables the following skills to be performed:

• Running
• Hopping
• Catching
• Throwing
• Striking
• Balancing
• Jumping

They are the foundation movements for children to develop, allowing them to participate in sporting activities. For example, football, gymnastics, rugby and netball.

Aims

The national curriculum for physical education aims 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.

Attainment Targets

By the end of each key stage, pupils are expected to know, apply and understand the matters, skills and processes specified in the relevant programme of study.

Subject Content

Key Stage 1

Pupils should develop fundamental movement skills, become increasingly competent and confident and access a broad range of opportunities to extend their agility, balance and coordination, individually and with others. They should be able to engage in competitive (both against self and against others) and co-operative physical activities, in a range of increasingly challenging situations.

Pupils should be taught to:

• master basic movements including running, jumping, throwing and catching, as well as developing balance, agility and co-ordination, and begin to apply these in a range of activities
• participate in team games, developing simple tactics for attacking and defending
• perform dances using simple movement patterns

Key Stage 2

Pupils should continue to apply and develop a broader range of skills, learning how to use them in different ways and to link them to make actions and sequences of movement. They should enjoy communicating, collaborating and competing with each other. They should develop an understanding of how to improve in different physical activities and sports and learn how to evaluate and recognise their own success.

Pupils should be taught to:

• use running, jumping, throwing and catching in isolation and in combination
• play competitive games, modified where appropriate [for example, badminton, basketball, cricket, football, hockey, netball, rounders and tennis], and apply basic principles suitable for attacking and defending
• develop flexibility, strength, technique, control and balance [for example, through athletics and gymnastics]
• perform dances using a range of movement patterns
• take part in outdoor and adventurous activity challenges both individually and within a team
• compare their performances with previous ones and demonstrate improvement to achieve their personal best

Swimming

Pupils will be taught to:

• Tread water, swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres
• use a range of strokes effectively (for example, front crawl, backstroke and breaststroke)

Overview 

Hadlow Primary School have been apart of the Sainsbury's Awards for many years. This year we have been given a Gold award for our PE throughout the school and taking part in various events.

Looking over the past year Hadlow have taken part in various events. Celebration Dance this year was at the Stag Theatre. For some of the pupils this was they first time they had ever be involved in dance on a stage. They were truly amazing!

Hever Castle Triathlon was a great day for some of our year 5 pupils. The took part in Swimming/biking/running and transitioning.  They all thoroughly the whole day, especially swimming in the lake for the first time for most of them!

Sports Day -  Sports Day was a great school event for the whole school.  Every child took part. They played important roles, giving out stickers, finish line, introducing field events. Thank you for all the parents support on the day too. 

Competitions- Many children took part in various competitions after school against other schools. What a joy to see them take part, enjoy and grow in confidence. 

Football and Netball was amazing this year. Both teams improved as they took part in each match. Teamwork, communication, skills and goal scoring, meaning we won far more matches than we lost!

Well done to all of those who played. 

Bikeabilty was a great success. All the children that took part did extremely well and achieved their certificates.

We are very proud as a school to provide a variety of after school clubs.

Next year we have a few more:
