PHYSICAL EDUCATION IN ACTION

A quality PE curriculum should encourage pupils to lead healthy, active lives. It should inspire children to want to become active by equipping them with the necessary skills to take part in physical activity. Pupils should have access to 2 hours of high quality PE lessons each week, as well as being encouraged to be physically active in their own time. This can be done through enriching after school clubs, utilising break times and lunchtimes effectively and providing links to community sports clubs. PE should also instil important values within the children such as fairness, respect and teamwork; skills which can be applied to many aspects of their daily lives.
