Physical Education

At Rhodes Green CE Primary School, we believe Physical Education plays an important role in helping children develop healthy habits, confidence, teamwork and a lifelong enjoyment of being active.

Our PE curriculum is supported by EdStart and provides children with a broad range of opportunities to develop their physical skills, knowledge and understanding. Every child receives at least one PE session each week delivered by our specialist EdStart coach, alongside PE taught by our own teaching staff.

Throughout their time at Rhodes Green, children develop skills across a range of activities including games, gymnastics, dance, athletics and outdoor activities. Children are encouraged to challenge themselves, improve their individual performance and experience the enjoyment that comes from being physically active.

PE is also an important opportunity to develop skills that extend far beyond sport. Children learn about teamwork, communication, resilience, determination, respect and fair play – qualities that link closely with our DREAM Values and support their wider personal development.

Alongside curriculum PE, we aim to provide opportunities for children to participate in sporting events, competitions and extra-curricular activities, allowing them to discover new interests and represent Rhodes Green with pride.

Our ambition is for every child, regardless of their starting point or sporting ability, to feel successful and included in PE, developing the confidence, knowledge and positive attitudes needed to lead a healthy and active life.
