PE
Physical Education (PE) at Bradfield CE Primary
Our Physical Education (PE) curriculum aims to ensure all children feel included and enjoy all aspects of physical activity. Our PE curriculum is built by teaching fundamental movement skills that can be transferred to sports specific skills throughout their primary education. The Fundamental skills teach them to be inquisitive about balance, coordination and agility through movement. Our aim is to encourage all children to enjoy sport from an early age and to experience healthy competition so that children can lead healthy and active lives.
PE lessons take place twice per week throughout the school. In Key Stage One, these lessons focus on fundamental movement skills of balance, coordination agility. These lessons include: gymnastics, dance and athletics skills (e.g. running, jumping, ball skills).
In Key Stage Two, these lessons focus more on sports specific skills such as netball, hockey and rugby. The core focus of these lessons is to ensure that the child is working within their own ability level to allow for confidence and self-esteem building. Each child has the opportunity to simplify the task or choose a challenge as they see fit.
Swimming lessons take place in Key Stage Two. The aim is that all children are able to independently swim 25 meters of any stroke. Bradfield offers a wide variety of clubs such as: judo, athletics, football, netball and multi skills.
Our PE curriculum is enriched by a wide array of clubs and opportunities for children to represent the school in local area sports tournaments and competitions. As of January 2025, approximately 90% of our students in KS2 have represented the school at an external sports event over the past 12 months. Whatever your child's passion or talent in sport, we aim to help them find and develop it.
