Find out about the teaching of PE at our school here.

Intent:
PE lessons at Ingham Primary School aim to develop a fun, high quality PE curriculum that inspires all pupils to succeed and excel in competitive sports and other physically demanding activities. We provide pupils with opportunities to become physically confident in a way which supports their health and fitness.

Our children will have opportunities to compete in sport and other activities that build character and embed the values of fairness and respect, as well as developing habits for a healthy lifestyle that children will
take with them into adulthood. We are passionate about the need to teach children how to co-operate and collaborate with others as part of a team. We use 'Premier Education' to deliver PE in all class across school in 

Implementation:
Pupils at Ingham Primary School participate in weekly high quality PE and sporting activities. We provide opportunities for all children to engage in extra-curricular activities both during and after-school, in addition to sporting events. This is an inclusive approach which endeavours to develop and foster well-being for all our pupils.

We use Premier Education to deliver high-quality PE sessions to all classes in school one day per week. The other lesson is delivered by the classteacher using the Get Set 4 PE scheme. 

Every year we have Sports Week. The combination of traditional sports, inclusive/adaptive activities, adventurous challenges and inspirational visitors makes it a powerful opportunity for children’s physical, social, emotional and personal development. We offer a variety of sporting activities which change each year. 

Having activities such as climbing, boccia and wheelchair basketball alongside familiar sports such as netball, football and cricket means that every child has the opportunity to discover something new. A child who isn't interested in football might discover they love climbing. Another might excel at boccia. Someone else might be inspired by wheelchair basketball. This is particularly important in primary school because children are still discovering who they are, what they enjoy and what they are capable of. 

Impact:
Children will enjoy sport and want to take part in physical activity for fun. They will demonstrate a progression of skills through our curriculum and develop healthy habits which we hope they will continue throughout their life.
