How we teach PE

At Brookhouse Primary School, our vision is for all pupils to lead a healthy lifestyle and understand the importance of life long physical activity. We aim to deliver high quality teaching and learning opportunities that inspire all children to succeed in physical education. Our objective is for pupils to master the necessary fundamental movement skills and apply these across a broad range of physical activities employing imagination and creativity in their techniques, tactics and choreography. In addition, we want our pupils to remain safe in and around water and therefore it is our goal for all children to be able to swim at least 25 metres before the end of Year 6. We aim for our pupils to develop into competent and confident learners, who are able to improve their own and others’ performance, able to cooperate and collaborate with others and able to understand fairness of play. We encourage our pupils to value physical activity and take personal responsibility for their own physical literacy journey.
