Welcome to our Physical Education page!

Intent, Implementation and Impact

Here is our P.E. Rationale

Physical Education at Priestsic

At Priestsic, we value Physical Education. We want them to have no limits to their aspirations, and grow up wanting to be personal trainers, nutritionists, sports journalist or gold medal winners! We enable our pupils to become physically confident in a way which supports both their mental, and physical health and fitness and wellbeing. We encourage positive and inclusive participation in physical education, which will enable children to build self-esteem, team work skills, and positive values and attitudes in P.E. and across the curriculum.

Our PE curriculum has been carefully built and the learning opportunities and assessment milestones for each year group crafted to ensure progression and repetition in terms of embedding key learning, vocabulary, knowledge and skills. In addition to this we provide specialist swimming teaching to pupils in Years 4.

In order to instil a passion within our children for keeping active, we also offer a range of extra-curricular clubs throughout the school year.

As always, our wonderful Priestsic children put in a great amount of effort and did tremendously well in this basketball tournament. We are so proud of the teamwork that they showed; displaying our values of respect and self-belief from the very first, to the very last game!

What great performance by all these athletic superstars! It is amazing to get involved once more in School Games competitions and what a great first competition back. Massive well done to these Year 5 and 6 children - as always, they showed all of our Priestsic values, especially self-belief. Our children really do 'Aspire, Believe, Achieve'. 

Our Year 4/5 girls basketball competition went amazingly. These girls showed so much determination during the tournament: they worked so hard. A second place finish in the tournament was thoroughly deserved. The skill and ability on display for each game was immense and we couldn't be more proud.

Our super Year 3s and 4s did Priestsic proud at the Indoor Athletic competition. With a few team first-places, our school total secured us a third place overall! As always, we are super proud of our wonderful children that took part. GO PRIESTSIC!

We are so fortunate to have Olympic athlete and 3x Gymnastics World Championship gold medalist, Beth Tweddle visit our school. Beth came in to our school to deliver an assembly on the importance of sport, exercise and leading a healthy lifestyle. Beth also discussed the importance of finding the right sport for you. 

It was an amazing experience for our children to be spoken to by such inspirational sporting figure.
