PE Implementation: How we teach and learn...
Atlas Sports, who deliver our PE curriculum, explain how they teach:
"In the creation of a well-rounded sports performer, we would expect to see empathy, the ability to work well as part of a team, and oodles of etiquette. Our personal and social category focuses on assessing children in these areas.
Many of our staff benefit from in-school physical education CPD which underpins our aim of achieving excellence in the delivery of primary school PE. Working alongside coaches, with plenty of opportunity to observe and ask questions, our CPD programme is designed to support the development of teaching styles and lesson ideas for all primary school teachers through a practical, lesson based approach."
Our technical objectives focus on the development of technique within a given skill. For example, ‘I can point at my target when throwing overarm’.
At Atlas Sports, we focus on developing children tactically. Our small-sided games - through EYFS, KS1 and KS2 - place a huge emphasis on independent and team-led enquiry when developing tactics to outwit opponents.
At Atlas Sports we aim to get children active for at least 80% of their physical education lessons. This is fundamental underpinning of any successful PE lesson. When assessing, we use objectives such as ‘I can keep going when I get tired’.
