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.

What a superb tournament this was. These children had so much fun playing in a competitive but very friendly and good natured tournament. One win, one draw and three goals for the two games. GO PRIESTSIC!

Our first outdoor competition in a while went amazingly. These children were excellent listeners as they took in a lot of rules before taking part in a highly competitive tag-rugby tournament. As always, these Priestsic children showed so much sportsmanship, respect and resilience. Well done!

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!

Another competition in the bag! Extremely proud of the resilience these children showed, there was absolutely no giving up, just keep looking up and run. A special well done to one of our Year 4 girls who got a third place medal! We also came third as a school. Great job team Priestsic.

We have started this academic year's competitions with a flying start! A massive well done to these Year 5 and 6 children.  A thoroughly deserved Second Place. GO PRIESTSTIC.

Another competition in the bag! A massive well done to our amazing year 3s and 4s for showing such heart and determination in a tough Cross Country Competition. We are so proud of you - as ever. 

Huge well done to our Year 4/5 girls on another brilliant competition. We have another 2nd place finish and it did not come easy. These girls showed amazing resilience and made themselves proud with how hard they worked. GO PRIESTSIC!

Another amazing competition in the bag! These Year 5 and 6 children gave it their all and displayed tremendous teamwork, resilience and effort. This was a closely fought tournament and we are super proud of our 3rd place finish. 

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.

Well done to our Year 3s and 4s who took part in the athletics competition! You all tried so hard and did your absolute best. We are so proud of you for taking part in your very first after school competition. 

Another fantastic Next Level Sports competition in the bag. A huge well done to all the amazing children that took part! Another second place in a competition - we are so proud of you. All children that took part gave it their all and demonstrated our self-belief value fantastically. 

Our school came second in the Tag-Rugby tournament out of five schools! We are so proud of our children that took part in our first school competition in three years. These children showed true resilience, no matter the situation they found themselves in for each game; conducting themselves so well and representing Priestsic amazingly. A massive congratulations to you all. Next time, we will remember to bring umbrellas!

Year 3 Next Level Sports Athletics Competition

Our wonderful relationship with Next Level Sport has given us the fantastic opportunity to compete in an Athletics competition between other schools. This competition was run at Priestsic with the help of our own fantastic Next Level Sports coaches, Mr West and Miss Johal. Here are some snaps of the day.
