PE and Sport at Eastrop
Our PE and Sports Leader is Miss Vardy.
Our Vision for PE at Eastrop
At Eastrop Infant School every child will experience a board and varied Physical Education programme to enrich their attitudes and exposure to sport. We believe that Physical Education should allow children to develop a positive state of mind, a good understanding of health and fitness, confidence and self-belief in their abilities and a resilience to challenge.
Every child is taught to develop their skills in PE through the Create REAL PE Programme and the National Curriculum (2014) programme for PE and Sports. This ensures that all pupils develop the fundamental skills and competence to excel in a wide range of physical activities. Throughout the week, we aim to provide two hours of high-quality physical education, which involves outdoor games skills as well as indoor gymnastics or dance.
During the academic year, the children are also encouraged to represent the school in a range of tournaments, competitions and festivals.
REAL PE
Our approach to teaching Physical Education aims to promote a life-long love of physical activity where all children become active learners both inside and outside the classroom. We believe that the child centred approach of REAL PE compliments our vision and approaches for how we teach PE so that every child can be challenged and supported.
Real PE provides fun Schemes of Work to deliver outstanding PE lessons to all children. It is fully aligned to the National Curriculum and focuses on the development of agility, balance and coordination, healthy competition and cooperative learning through a unique and market leading approach to teaching and learning in PE.
Every week the children receive an hours lesson of Real PE Core programe and an hours lesson of Real Gym, Real Dance or Games.
