At St Adrian’s we will strive 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.

Opportunities to compete in sport and other activities, build character and help to embed values such as fairness and respect. 

Whilst the National Curriculum, in its entirety, will provide the framework around which the Physical Education Curriculum at St Adrian’s will be structured, it is our intent to offer a curriculum that makes provision for:

• allow each child to aspire to their potential as physically literate individuals with the movement foundation for lifelong participation and enjoyment in physical activity;
• providing opportunities to develop the attributes of motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge and understanding in PE;
• respecting themselves and others;
• regularly employing the skills of running, jumping, throwing and catching in isolation and in combination;
• engagement and relevance to the pupils;
• opportunities for children to hone the generic skills of collaboration, independence, research, and reflection;
• play competitive games to encourage fair play, the ability to approach winning and losing with dignity; and (when representing their house or school) a sense of shared identity and team spirit;
• opportunities for outdoor adventure and swimming;
• encouraging pupils to be active outside of PE lessons both in and beyond the school day;
• developing metacognitive skills in planning, monitoring and evaluation with respect to physical activity;
• providing the knowledge and understanding to make healthy lifestyle choices;
• promoting well-being through physical activity  as well as by :engaging with others; instilling lifelong-learning;  developing in pupils a greater awareness of their surroundings; and opportunities to do good for others.
