At Crudgington Primary, the teaching and learning of PE focuses on the development and exploration of physical skills. Pupils are entitled to learn about the benefits of exercise and healthy eating and how to make informed choices about these as they grow. At Crudgington, we strive to create an engaging, purposeful, relevant and challenging PE curriculum for all children.

We aim to develop children’s knowledge, skills and understanding of Physical Education so that they can perform with increasing confidence in a range of physical activities and sports. We aim to develop the thinking, selecting and applying skills that promote positive attitudes towards a healthy lifestyle in our children.

The aim of Physical Education is to promote physical activity and healthy lifestyles. Children are taught to observe and produce the fundamentals of fair play, honest competition and good sporting behaviour leading to the embedding of life-long values such as co-operation, collaboration, and equity of play.

Our PE Curriculum, along with PSHE and science, teaches children about the importance of healthy living and learning about the need for good nutrition. At Crudgington we aim for children to develop the necessary knowledge and skills which will have a positive impact on their future by becoming physically active citizens to benefit their long-term health and well-being.
