The National Curriculum for P.E. states:
Pupils should continue to apply and develop a broader range of skills, learning how to apply them in different ways and to link them to make actions and sequences of movement. They should enjoy communicating, collaborating and competing with each other. They should develop an
understanding of how to improve in different physical activities and sports and learn how to evaluate and recognise their own success. Pupils should be taught to:- use running, jumping, throwing and catching in isolation and in combination
- play competitive games, for example, badminton, basketball, cricket, football, hockey and netball, rounders and tennis and apply basic principles for attacking and defending.
- develop flexibility, strength, technique, control and balance for example, through athletics and gymnastics
- perform dances using a range of movement patterns
- take part in outdoor and adventurous activity challenges both individually and within a team
- compare their performances with previous ones and demonstrate improvement to achieve their personal best."
Physical education - Key stages 1 and 2 - Swimming and water safety: All schools must provide swimming instruction either in key stage 1 or key stage 2. In particular, pupils should be taught to:
- swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres
- use a range of strokes effectively [for example, front crawl, backstroke and breaststroke]
- perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations.
We are continually reviewing PE at St John's to ensure that our pupils get a rich curriculum of different sports and activities and that they are enriched and supported through a range of After School Club and opportunities for children to compete in a range of sporting competitions, tournaments and events.
All children receive at least 2 hours of PE per week, which is timetabled with either their class teacher or our Sports Coach. During PE lessons at St John's we aim to expose children to a wide range of different sports and physical activities, including:
- Basketball
- Athletics both indoor and outdoor.
- Gymnastics
- Football
- Dance
- Hockey
- Kwik-Cricket
- Tag rugby
- Swimming and water safety
The new National PE Curriculum (in England) came into force in September 2014. To view a full copy of the current Primary School National Curriculum PE programmes of study, please click here.

Hockey
involves running, sprinting, changing direction and large amounts of strength, power and flexibility. Additionally, the movements involved in hockey develop gross motor skills, such as the ability to sprint down the pitch, as well as the fine motor skills that come from intricate stick work. Another important element playing a team game, like hockey is the social impact Through playing as a team, children learn how to communicate with their teammates; they figure out trust and cooperation and they learn responsibility, as they take roles within the team.Year 3 and 4 - Rounders and cricket - Autumn Term 1
Children have learnt how to
play the different roles of bowler, backstop, fielder and batter. They have also acquired and developed a broader range of skills such as running, jumping, throwing and catching in isolation and in combination and develop overall fitness and strength.In all games activities, children have to think about how they use skills, strategies and tactics to outwit the opposition. In striking and fielding games, like cricket and rounders, players achieve this by striking a ball and trying to deceive or avoid fielders, so that they can run around bases to score runs. When fielding, they try to prevent runs or points being scored.
Dance
During Autumn term 1, Autumn Term 2 and Spring term 1, the whole school will be learning dance, which will be linked to their thematic topic for this period. .
