# PE - Physical Education

## **PE - Physical Education**

#### **Subject Leader** - Miss Cain

![](https://forefieldjuniors.co.uk/images/pages/ee4d65306873fdd7d29c5c37cfc55f4c.png)As a school, Forefield Junior School is committed to PE and Sport, we have developed our vision for PE and school sport around five key targets, as we believe these give our children the best chance of succeeding in physical education.

1. All children will have the OPPORTUNITY to partake in a variety of physical and sporting activities of their choosing both during PE lessons and in extra-curricular clubs.
2. All children will be encouraged to experience healthy competition against their peers and will be taught the value of competing against themselves by setting SMART (specific, motivational, attainable, realistic and timed) targets in areas of their choosing.
3. All children will improve their DETERMINATION, sportsmanship and resilience through organised competitions in which their teacher will model how to respond when winning and losing.
4. All children will have the ability to make appropriate, life-long choices about living a healthy and active lifestyle.
5. All children will leave Forefield Junior School physically literate. They will have a deep understanding of how their body works and how to improve the core areas of health, fitness and mobility.

We also believe it is paramount that children understand the link between exercise, physical literacy and educational success. Those children who participate more regularly in sport and physical activity have greater levels of concentration and improved communication skills.

### Reading within the Physical Education Curriculum

In today's information-driven society, the ability to read critically is essential for academic and career success. By teaching reading across the curriculum, we are equipping children in our school with a crucial skill that will facilitate learning across the breadth of the curriculum. Reading is not just about decoding words on a page, but also about comprehending and analysing information. Physical Education (PE) enhances the learning of reading by integrating literacy with movement, strengthening comprehension through reading instructions, rules, and health-related content. It also strengthens vocabulary development with an emphasis on the teaching of subject-specific terminology (e.g., racket, shuttle, drop shot) to improve understanding, rather than generic descriptions.
