Intent - Our Vision

We want our children to:

  • Take part in sport and other activities.
  • Understand how values such as fairness and respect are embedded in P.E. activities.
  • Value the importance of physical well-being and the link to mental health and well-being. 
  • Achieve their personal best rather than competition against others.
  • Take part in team work through our value of unity.
  • Use the reflective learning tool for children to analyse and narrate their successes and struggles.
  • Develop simple skills for fuelling their future leaning.
  • Have an attitude of "Can I win? Will I win? Will I take part anyway?"
