As a school we have invested in the quality scheme ‘Real PE’ which reflects our commitment to developing physical literacy and the emotional and thinking skills needed to achieve in PE, Sport and Life. This is a child-centred approach which aims to challenge and support every child and focuses on the development of agility, balance and coordination, healthy competition and cooperative learning. This year we are adding ‘Get set 4 PE’ to our scheme to ensure that we also teach a range of traditional, competitive games in a progressive way across the school.
Every child from Year 1 – Year 6 is encouraged to take part in an active daily challenge. This changes every half term. It may be completing the Daily Mile, working through the Skip2bfit programme or a range of keep fit/yoga style exercises each day to improve general wellbeing and level of fitness.
We begin swimming lessons in Year 2 where children are assessed and grouped to ensure that those who need most practise get the opportunity for further swimming throughout key stage 2. We aim for every child to leave Great Rollright as a competent swimmer.
We are keen to encourage as many extra-curricular sporting clubs as possible and offer – Football, Hockey, Netball, Gymnastics, Aerobics and Tennis, when possible, throughout the year.
Last year we invested in specialist Yoga lessons for the whole school as part of our Covid recovery plans. This has proven to be very beneficial for mental wellbeing as well as being an excellent form of physical education and is being continued into the future for all children.
