Pinfold Primary School
PE
Pinfold Primary Vision Statement
At Pinfold Primary School, it is our intention that P.E. will be delivered via high quality lessons that are fun, engaging and will inspire all pupils to lead physically active lives. We aim to maximise the development of every child’s ability and achievement in the area of PE enabling them to know more about physical activity and how it is a key component of a healthy lifestyle.
We benefit from the expertise of specialist coaches from West Lancashire Sport Partnership (WLSP) twice a week. Our teachers work alongside the coaches. We have booked yoga for the full year.
We aim to provide opportunities for pupils to become physically confident in a way that supports their health and fitness, whilst boosting self-confidence, self-esteem and supporting the development of social skills; encouraging all children to become successful, lifelong learners.
We are aware that research has shown a direct link between children’s physical and mental health and therefore we aim to provide experiences that will inspire pupils to not only develop physically but ensure mental wellbeing and a desire to succeed.
As the children move through the school, knowledge and skills are built upon and learning takes place sequentially. Our curriculum is designed in a way that enables the teachers to have the flexibility to ensure that the children develop knowledge and skills through the use of a wide range of sports.
Sport, physical activity, outdoor learning, Forest School and developing our children's emotional health and wellbeing are a passion at Pinfold Primary school.
The programme for 2022-23 can be seen on our curriculum overview. This year is Year D. It will be delivered by West Lancs Sports Partnership (WLSP)practitioners.
