In Early Years Foundation Stage, pupils begin to learn and develop their gross motor skills -strength, balance and coordination. They learn how to get changed and how to maintain safety.
In KS1, pupils develop and master a variety of fundamental movements which they begin to apply to a range of modified games.
In LKS2, pupils continue to develop and master fundamental movements; however, they also begin to develop sport specific skills and knowledge in modified sporting activities.
In UKS2, pupils continue to develop their sports specific skills and knowledge which build up to playing the full game in a tournament format. In Year 4 and 5, pupils have swimming lessons at Lonsdale pool with the aim to be able to swim 25m by the time they finish primary school.
By the end of Year 6, we aim for all of our pupils to consistently demonstrate our sporting values which supports their holistic development, on and off the playing field. Our sporting values are:
- Determination,
- Passion,
- Respect,
- Honesty,
- Self-belief,
- Teamwork.
