Our Vision
• Our vision for PE is that pupils will develop the movement foundations to allow for lifelong participation in physical activity. They will be equipped with personal skills such as: respect, courage, resilience and kindness to take forward into their further life and be successful in whatever they do.
Overview of Physical Education @ St Kentigern’s.
• At St Kentigern’s, we believe physical education should be a positive learning experience for all children. Pupils will be given opportunities to not only develop physically buy physiologically. Children will be inspired and equipped with the foundations to pursuit a healthy and active lifestyle when they leave our school.
• We have designed a School specific Physical education curriculum which ensures that children are developed into well-rounded individuals who display our school values through their PE lessons and in their everyday life. Children take part in PE lessons that are fun, inclusive and engaging which gives every child a chance to shine and ensuring that all children feel able to express themselves across a range of activities.
