P.E. at Portway Infant School promotes healthy, active lifestyles.  We provide a PE curriculum that immerses pupils in learning that is memorable, engaging and meaningful. Children will experience a high standard of PE which will help them to develop their relevant knowledge, skills, values and attitudes used throughout the wider curriculum.  We follow the National Curriculum and use gymnastics, dance, games and fitness and encourage the children to work individually or collaboratively, with a strong emphasis on enjoyment that supports our children’s personal development ready for their next stage of learning journey.  Children of all abilities are given a chance to shine through creativity, teamwork and an enjoyment of being active.

We achieve our vision throughout the year by following these units of learning:

Autumn 1 Fundamental Skills and Athletics

Autumn 2 Ball Skills and Sending/Receiving

Spring 1 Gymnastics and Target Games

Spring 2 Gymnastics and Invasion Games

Summer 1 Dance and Striking and Fielding Games

Summer 2 Dance and Net/Wall Games

As part of our Forest School curriculum, we teach Outdoor and Adventurous Activities and Team-building Games in addition to our PE lessons. Children in EYFS also have a YogaBugs session each week.
