At KSS, we believe that physical education, physical activity & school sport (PESSPA) is a vital part of school life and ultimately our children's future well-being. It plays an important role in the holistic development of our children, building character, resilience, co-operation, trust and self-confidence. We acknowledge and value the contribution PESSPA makes to whole school improvement, impacting attendance, behaviour and pupil attainment.
It is our intent to provide an inclusive, broad and balanced PE curriculum that ensures ALL children benefit through: enhancing existing skills; learning new skills; having fun; performing with increasing physical competence and confidence in a range of physical activities. We offer a wide range of activities which encourage children to enjoy exercise and make healthy lifestyle choices. We have confidence that every child who leaves KSS will do so well-prepared for not just high school PE but with a lifelong love of feeling fit and healthy and a wide range of activity experiences to draw upon in their future lives.
Please see the attached overview document that explains the curriculum and the knowledge, skills and vocabulary progression map from Reception to Year 6.
We have also begun creating Knowledge Organisers (KO) for each half-term and these have been added below. These are child-friendly documents that demonstrate how we will implement the new curriculum, including the powerful knowledge that we wish children to learn after each topic. The impact of our curriculum will be based on how well the children retain this knowledge.
