PE

A high-quality physical education curriculum inspires all pupils to succeed and excel in competitive sport and other physically-demanding activities. It should provide opportunities for pupils to become physically confident in a way which supports their health and fitness. Opportunities to compete in sport and other activities build character and help to embed values such as fairness and respect.

We use Get Set 4 PE as a tool for delivering our holistic, child-centred approach to PE. Alongside this, we access professional coaches from Liverpool School Sports Partnership, Lancashire County Cricket Club, Chaos Dance as well as School Improvement Liverpool for swimming.

Intent

We aim to foster a lifelong love of physical activity and all children regardless of their abilities while looking after the development of the whole child.

 

We encourage enjoyment through being active and promote a healthy lifestyle (including a balanced diet) across the curriculum.

 

We will ensure that physical activity is not restricted to PE lessons and aim to encourage active learning in other curriculum subjects.

We aim to employ engaging and inclusive teaching habits in order to develop positive learning behaviours.

We believe a ‘can-do’ approach is vital through which we encourage children to recognise success, celebrate positive responses to failure and challenge themselves and each other.

We want children to leave Hunts Cross feeling confident in their skills in agility, balance and coordination.

It is our aim that all children leave us able to swim 25m.

Our curriculum PE will be enhanced through our active playtimes, a variety of extra-curricular opportunities and both intra- and inter- competitions in different sports throughout the school year.

Implementation

We will deliver the above intentions primarily using the GET SET 4 PE online platform.

We also have strong established links with Liverpool School Sports Partnership (LSSP) who help with delivery of coached sessions, external competitions and extra-curricular clubs.

We are affiliated to Lancashire CC and as such we receive professional coaching sessions and after school sessions each summer.

We take part in the local authority school swimming programme coordinated by School Improvement Liverpool and offer all KS2 children the opportunity to access swimming lessons each year.

Our partnership with LSSP allows us to access and offer additional physical activity sessions. These include, but are not limited to: yoga, Skoot School (scooter training), balance bike sessions (EYFS).

We also work with Chaos Dance and offer a programme of creative dance sessions across the school throughout the year.

We also bring in BikeRight to provide annual BikeAbility Cycle Awareness training for Y5 pupils.

Impact

At this moment we are at a time of change in terms of our PE delivery.   After consultation with staff and finding that the previous scheme was not best suited for our curriculum, we decided to invest in the Get Set 4 PE scheme.  This has had an initial impact in terms of confidence and enthusiasm however the longer term benefits of enjoyment and engagement with the children will be more evident in the coming months and years.  Initial feedback is extremely positive from both children and staff.  Further feedback will be collected in Summer 2025 and will inform the long term plan for the year 2025-26.

Our partnership with Chaos Dance has enabled us to be featured in the Schools Dance Platform event at Leap Dance Festival in 2024 and again in 2025.

Our swimming data is published in July every year.  Data for 2023-24 is below and for 2022-23 is in bold. The impact of not attending the Y6 Top-ups was evidenced last year however this was against the trend of previous years.

 

What percentage of your current Year 6 cohort can swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres? 61%

83%

 This year we did not participate in the Y6 top-up swimming sessions meaning that the percentage was lower than in previous years.
