Curriculum overview for PE
Our PE curriculum focuses on skill development from EYFS to Year 6 – previously taught skills are revisited and further developed in each year group. From Reception, there are 12 taught units per year with progression documents to support each. Within these units, pupils will develop an understanding of why physical activity is beneficial to our body and mind. They will also learn rules, to become team players, to take leadership roles, to referee and the skills needed to be confident and competent in each of the following areas:
