PE

Our Marlfields athletes will have a breadth of opportunities (in school, across Congleton and the wider Trust of schools) that will enable them to enjoy a range of sporting experiences. The school will promote a healthy lifestyle. Our children will be inspired to achieve personal success, develop the appropriate skills and confidence to participate in a range of sports. This includes swimming, whereby our year 4 and year 5 children participate in swimming lessons at Congleton leisure centre as part of our curriculum offer.

We teach PE in a consistent and carefully sequenced way across the school. Each lesson begins by identifying that it is a PE lesson, where we learn about how their bodies move, how to stay safe while being active and how to enjoy sport in a positive and inclusive way. By recapping prior learning, we help children connect new knowledge to what they already know. This ensures learning is progressive and builds towards each lesson’s objective. Our lesson flow is followed in every class to provide clarity, structure and continuity.

Key vocabulary has been mapped out for every year group and each topic. This language is taught explicitly to support our budding athletes in understanding new concepts with confidence. Important vocabulary from previous years is revisited whenever it is needed to access new learning, ensuring children develop a strong and secure PE-specific vocabulary as they move through school.
