At Tadcaster Primary Academy it is our aim, in line with the National Curriculum, to develop the whole child and that our children will leave school with a love of PE, physical activity and sport. Children will learn life long skills such as collaboration, decision making, leadership and empathy and will go on to lead an active and healthy lifestyle. It is our intent to deliver a PE curriculum which is wide and varied, offering
opportunities and trying to capture the imagination of every child in the school. At Tadcaster we also offer various physical activity challenges and school sports opportunities to help aid children’s development in the four learning domains, physical, social, cognitive and emotional.
At Tadcaster Primary Academy, PE lessons are fun and engaging and are taught through a variety of activities, topics and sports. Each class receives two PE lessons a week, taught by the class teacher or in correlation with the sports coach. Early years and KS1 focus on developing fundamental movement skills while in KS2 lessons start to become more sports specific, all the time looking to improve children’s physical literacy. Leadership skills are developed by training sports leaders to help with delivery and design of break/lunch time and after school activities.
At Tadcaster Primary Academy, the impact of PE is evidenced on classroom displays, pupil feedback and social media which all demonstrates various aspects such as enjoyment of PE, physical development and leadership skills. Children will have developed life long transferable skills, such as problem solving and decision making and acquired a love for being active and healthy.
