At St. Peter's, we recognise the importance of PE and the role it has to play in promoting long term, healthy lifestyles. The intent of our PE curriculum is to provide all children with high quality PE and sport provision. We strive to inspire our pupils through fun and engaging PE lessons that are enjoyable, challenging and accessible to all. We want our pupils to appreciate the benefits of a healthy and physically active lifestyle.

We follow the National Curriculum for PE. You can find the program of study for Key Stage One and Two here.

Through our teaching of PE, we will provide opportunities for pupils to develop values and transferrable life skills such as fairness and respect, as well as providing them with opportunities to take part in competitive sport. Through a positive experiences of PE at school, we aim foster a life-long love of sport and physical activity. This is a vision that is shared with the coaches that work with us to help us to deliver PE lessons and after school clubs.

Our Curriculum

We offer the children a wide range of sporting activities during their PE lessons. In EYFS, we develop the children’s fundamental movement and ball skills. These are then built on in Key Stage 1 as we begin to add in some net and wall, striking and fielding and target games. In Key Stage 2, these skills are built upon once again, as the children will participate in sports such as netball, rounders and tennis.

Gymnastics and dance are taught throughout the school and children in Key Stage 2 participate in swimming for a term (swimming is not taking place currently due to COVID restrictions).  

Extra-Curricular Opportunities

We are proud of the extra sporting opportunities we can offer to our children (all of our extra-curricular opportunities are currently subject to COVID restrictions). We offer a range of after school clubs (for example multi-sports, football, netball, gymnastics) that are delivered both by our staff and external providers. 

Children also have the opportunity to take part in competitions both within school and between other schools. We enter a wide range of competitions (for example cross country, indoor sports hall, netball and tennis) that are run by Active Surrey as well as friendly competitions (for example football) against local schools.

We also have a Sports Day in the summer term, where the children take part in a variety of activities to earn points for their houses. At the end of Sports Day the points are tallied up and we have a winning house.
