PE at Ilketshall  

INFORMED

As part of our PE curriculum every child is taught a wide range of skills and techniques as they explore a variety of physical activities. Every year the children will experience sessions in games, multiskills, dance and gymnastics, extending and expanding upon their skills each year.  

Alongside the taught curriculum children also have the opportunity to extend areas of interest by participating in a range of afterschool clubs and also by taking part in inter school sporting events. This allows children to showcase their team and individual level of skill and it creates a sense of community as we compete with other schools in the local area. 

We have also been very lucky in the past to have a range of inspirational sporting heroes visit the school from paralympic champions to sprinters from the London 2012 team. 

INDEPENDENT

Many new skills are developed through our PE curriculum and this often tests the resilience and determination of any child. They are given the opportunity to use a wide variety of sporting equipment in a number of different physical activities.  The children challenge themselves to improve and develop and we set a number of targets as opportunities arise in the lesson. We have a sports specialist who works alongside the children each week to guide development and progress and to nurture new talents. 

INVESTED

We are very fortunate at Ilketshall to have a variety of sports equipment available and the support of a trained PE specialist. Children therefore get to experience different activities and challenges and this allows them to see what their own body is capable of. We also invite inspiring role models in sport into school to give children a taste of the opportunities that are available. We promote inter school sporting competitions and we celebrate the sporting achievements of children both in and outside of school. We also teach team skills  which encourages every child to participate and also allows them all to value their part in a team. 

INDIVIDUAL

Our work in PE is all about testing and extending physical skills. Through the practice of different games and activities children test their strength, agility, coordination and balance. They also develop their own level of skills and technique with equipment and they achieve different targets along the way. Children become proud of their individual accomplishments and brave in their role within a team. In PE at Ilketshall we create targets for the children based on their individual abilities. This means children will always be able to achieve and gain that taste of success, something all children should be offered to encourage them to take on even more challenges.
