At Rocks Park Primary School, it is our intent to provide a PE curriculum that provides our children with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to lead a physically active and healthy lifestyle. This includes promoting physical literacy, developing fundamental movement skills, and fostering social and emotional learning. Our PE curriculum involves creating a supportive and inclusive learning environment that encourages engagement and participation. This includes teaching methods and strategies to cater to different learning styles, providing opportunities for our children at Rocks Park to practise and apply the skills in different contexts. We offer a varied and progressive curriculum that can positively influence the children’s physical, mental, social and emotional health, enabling lifelong participation and enjoyment. It can lead to increased physical activity levels, improved motor skills, enhanced self esteem and better academic performance. Additionally, PE at Rocks Park can contribute to the development of a positive school culture and community, where all involved respect and celebrate each other.
To find out more about how PE is taught in each year group please see the medium term planning below.
We have four houses in our school:
• Blue - Oak
• Red - Ash
• Yellow - Chestnut
• Green - Sycamore
During the year we have intra competitions that count towards an end of year trophy.
The School Games Mark is a government led awards scheme launched in 2012 to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community. Participating in this process allows schools to evaluate their PE provision and assists them in developing an action plan for future progress.
What are the key criteria?
Each School Games Mark application is divided into four sets of questions. They cover the following basic topics...
Participation - how many young people at your school are being engaged in sporting activity?
Competition - how many different sports are being played and how many competitions are being entered?
Workforce - how many pupils are involved in leadership activities alongside taking part in competitions?
Clubs - how many local links does your school have with clubs or establishments from the area?
We hold a gold mark.
