P.E
At Hunloke Park Primary School, we strive to create a culture, which aims to inspire an active generation to enjoy PE, encourage each other and achieve. We provide a safe and supportive environment for children to flourish in a range of different physical activities, which is essential in supporting their physical, emotional, spiritual, social and moral development. We encourage children to participate in wider activities around the community, having a positive influence on others.
We also offer a wide variety of possibilities in a dynamic, varied and stimulating program of activity to ensure that all children progress physically through an inspirational, unique, fully inclusive and diverse PE curriculum. We encourage all children to develop their understanding of the way in which they can use their body, equipment and apparatus safely yet imaginatively to achieve their personal goals. All children have the opportunity to enjoy being physically active, maintain a healthy lifestyle and using the medium of sport, increase their self-esteem and mental wellbeing. We aspire for children to adopt a positive mind-set and believe that achievements can be made with determination and resilience.
The aim of Physical Education is to promote physical activity and healthy lifestyles. Children are taught to observe and produce the conventions of fair play, honest competition and good sporting behaviour as independent participants, team members and spectators. Thus embedding life-long values such as co-operation, collaboration and equity of play.
We provide opportunities for children to learn how to stay safe in the water and growing in confidence. We do this by teaching children how to keep safe and also meet the National Curriculum requirements of swimming 25m by the end of Year 6.
Our PE Curriculum, along with life skills and science, teaches children about the importance of healthy living and learning about the need for good nutrition. At Hunloke Park we aim for children to develop the necessary knowledge and skills which will have a positive impact on their future by becoming physically active citizens to benefit their long-term health and well-being.
