Intent

Our school values are seen throughout our physical education curriculum. At St Julie’s Catholic Primary School children work inclusively within their physical education lessons, enabling all children, regardless of background, ability, additional needs, to flourish and excel - to become the very best version of themselves.

We hope that our children demonstrate perseverance when learning a wide variety of sports and physical skills. Children learn how to cooperate and collaborate with others, as part of a team (Together Everyone Achieves More); understand fairness and equality of play. Children take part in both intra-school and inter-school competitions throughout the year, demonstrating high levels of respect and compassion for themselves and their competitors. We support the School Games ethos and believe that:

“Through the power of competition, the Merseyside School Games will inspire children and young people to unlock their true potential.”

Purpose of study

A high-quality physical education curriculum inspires all pupils to succeed and excel in competitive sport and other physically demanding activities. It should provide opportunities for pupils to become physically confident in a way which supports their health and fitness. Opportunities to compete in sport and other activities build character and help to embed values such as fairness and respect.

Aims

The national curriculum for physical education aims 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
