Here at Redland School, we follow the objectives set out on the National Curriculum to ensure children are physically active for sustained periods, whilst learning the lifelong importance of engaging in a healthy and active lifestyle. We understand that every child enjoys different types of physical activity, and that traditional team sports do not appeal to everyone. That is why we provide a wide range of sporting and active experiences, including alternative sports and activities, giving all pupils the opportunity to discover something they enjoy. By helping children build confidence, develop new skills and experience the enjoyment of being active, we aim to inspire a lifelong commitment to health and wellbeing. We provide opportunities for all pupils to become physically confident in a way which supports their health and fitness through:
– Two hours of physical activity in school a week. This can be through PE lessons and our outdoor learning lessons
– Whole class involvement in competitive sport with other local primary schools
– After-school sports clubs
– Individual/team sporting events
– Active playtimes and OPAL lunchtimes
-Active lessons throughout the curriculum e.g outdoor maths
– Swimming lessons for Year 4 children
We have our Sports Coach from PH Active, Mr Kyd, who leads sessions with the children throughout the year. In addition, our outdoor learning sessions, which are offered to different classes each term, count towards our two hour physical activity and are led by our Outdoor Learning Lead, Siân Evans. Other in-class PE sessions are led by the class teachers and all follow the GetSetforPE scheme.
