Physical Education

At Whitwick St John the Baptist, health and sport is a fundamental part of our curriculum.

Underpinning our approach to 'School Sport' and 'Physical Education (P.E)' are the 'School Games Values' of self-belief, determination, passion, team-work, respect and honesty.

Our PE curriculum is based on the outcomes set out in the National Curriculum Programme of Study for PE. We use a published scheme (Get Set 4 PE) to deliver our PE curriculum. We have selected this scheme, as we believe it supports our vision, values and whole school drivers and ensures the subject is taught systematically and progressively.

Vision

At Whitwick St John the Baptist, we believe that PE ensures pupils become physically competent and confident; develop skills, knowledge and their own pursuit for excellence; compete successfully, fairly and respectfully; be committed to maintaining a healthy, active lifestyle.

Our pupils build self-esteem and positive attitudes, as well as developing key skills for life, such as team work, resilience, motivation and respect.

Our high-quality, varied and balanced PE programme for all pupils, increase their daily physical activity through a love of movement and educating them about healthy living, lifestyles, well-being and their bodies.
