Intent of our PE curriculum
At Trotts Hill Primary School we believe that the teaching of Physical Education (P.E) is crucial to building healthy lives for all of members of our school community. We fully adhere to the aims of the national curriculum to ensure that all children:
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
(National Curriculum, 2014)
Therefore as well as reaching for high standards in our PE provision, we also aim for our children to be active learners across the curriculum, and provide opportunities for children to be physically active throughout the entire school day, including break, lunchtime and before / after school.
