Woodlesford Primary School - PE Implementation Statement:

# data[].attributes.body
At Woodlesford Primary School, our PE curriculum is carefully planned to bring our intent to life – ensuring that every child can enjoy, achieve and thrive through physical activity. We follow a clear and comprehensive scheme of work that fully meets the National Curriculum and is built around a progressive, skills-based programme. This means children develop and build on their knowledge and abilities year after year, always with the right level of challenge and support.

Across the school, pupils take part in two high-quality PE lessons each week. These lessons are varied and engaging, covering a wide range of activities including invasion games, net and wall games, striking and fielding, gymnastics, dance, swimming, and outdoor and adventurous activities. By experiencing such a broad mix, children not only strengthen their physical skills but also discover what they enjoy most.

Our teaching goes beyond movement alone. Each lesson is designed to support the whole child, focusing on:

Physical development – improving skills, fitness, stamina and coordination.

Cognitive development – encouraging children to think, plan, analyse and make good decisions in different sporting contexts.

Social development – nurturing teamwork, cooperation, resilience and respect for others.

Through this approach, we ensure that all children – regardless of ability or background – have access to high-quality PE that is inclusive, supportive and inspiring. We celebrate effort as much as achievement, and we encourage pupils to set personal goals, challenge themselves and take pride in their progress.

Our implementation of PE also extends beyond the classroom. We provide opportunities for competitive sport, creative challenges, and active play, helping children to understand that being active is not just for lessons, but for life.

By delivering our curriculum in this way, we equip our pupils with the skills, confidence and positive attitude needed to enjoy sport and physical activity well beyond their primary years.

Discussions were held with children on how they feel about PE.  The children were all really animated and it was apparent throughout all the discussions that the children really enjoy their PE lessons. The children could explain the benefits of Physical Education.

Swimming instruction takes place in school time and is available for our Year 4 pupils. All Government guidance has been followed to ensure the safety of all pupils during sessions. Swimming is part of the National Curriculum offer and we see this as an important academic and life skill for our pupils.
As part of swimming the children will have the opportunity to learn a range of strokes and carry out some life saving skills.

# data[].attributes.body
At Woodlesford Primary School, we use Complete PE to help monitor, support, and develop every child’s sporting ability.

During lessons, teachers assess pupils formatively, adapting activities each week to meet individual needs. Children are challenged at their own level while being encouraged to aim high and strive for personal improvement in every session.

At the end of each term, we use a colour-coded tracking system to record pupils’ progress in each unit of work. This summative assessment helps us celebrate success and identify next steps for every child.

All assessment information is saved and passed on to the next teacher each year, building a comprehensive profile of each pupil’s progress from Reception to Year 6.

This approach ensures that every child is supported, motivated, and able to develop the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to enjoy and succeed in PE.

Woodlesford Primary School: PE Intent Statement:

# data[].attributes.body
At Woodlesford Primary School, we believe that PE is for everyone. Whether it’s running, jumping, dancing, throwing, balancing, or simply discovering the joy of moving, we want every child to feel included, inspired and confident in their own abilities.

We see PE not just as a subject, but as a vital part of our school culture – one that helps children grow stronger, healthier and happier, while also building friendships, teamwork and resilience along the way. Our aim is for every child to experience success, enjoyment and challenge, no matter their starting point.

Through a broad and balanced curriculum, we give pupils the chance to try new activities, develop fundamental skills, and learn how sport and movement can be a lifelong source of fun and wellbeing. From competitive games to creative challenges, from quiet self-reflection to the thrill of teamwork, our PE lessons are designed to help children discover what they love, and to nurture that spark into a lasting passion.

By the time our pupils leave Woodlesford, we want them to:

Enjoy PE and sport, seeing it as a positive and natural part of their daily lives.

Feel confident in their abilities and proud of their progress.

Understand the importance of staying active for both body and mind.

Have the skills and motivation to take part in a wide variety of activities, both in and out of school.

Recognise that effort, perseverance and teamwork are just as important as winning.

Above all, our intent is to foster an inclusive PE culture where every child feels valued, every effort is celebrated, and where the love of sport and physical activity can thrive long after their time at Woodlesford Primary School.

Woodlesford Primary School: PE Impact Statement:

# data[].attributes.body
At Woodlesford Primary School, the impact of our PE curriculum can be seen in the confidence, enthusiasm and skills our children develop as they move through the school. Because our curriculum is progressive, every child has the opportunity to build on their fundamental skills, apply them to a variety of sports and activities, and achieve their personal best.

We know our approach is successful when:

Pupils are physically active and recognise the positive impact this has on their health, wellbeing and learning across the curriculum.

Children enjoy PE, develop a lasting love of sport and physical activity, and are motivated to take part in opportunities both in and out of school.

Pupils show resilience, teamwork and respect, understanding the values of fair play and good sportsmanship.

All children, regardless of ability, are able to access, achieve and celebrate success in PE.

By the time our pupils leave us, they are equipped with the physical literacy, knowledge and confidence to continue their journey in sport and activity. Just as importantly, they carry with them the belief that being active is not just something you do at school – it’s a vital part of living a healthy, happy life.
