At Ladysmith Junior School, we recognise the value of a rich, varied and high quality PE curriculum coupled with a broad and innovative range of after school sports clubs. Our school recognises the important values and skills learnt though sport which can support learning in a range of subjects and areas. We appreciate the significant impact PE and school sport can have on the physical, mental and social skills of an individual, particularly those with SEND. We use the National Curriculum to structure and shape our PE curriculum to enable all children to:

  • develop competence to excel in a broad range of physical activities
  • be physically active for sustained periods of time
  • engage in competitive sports and activities
  • lead healthy, active lives.

Each child, during their PE journey at Ladysmith, will develop their physical literacy and will learn about themselves, the importance of a healthy lifestyle, self-expression and concepts such as fair play and respect. Their experience will also contribute to the development of a range of important cognitive skills such as decision making and analysis, and social skills such as teamwork and communication as well as their physical skill development. Participation in competitive intra and inter school sport is a key element to the curriculum. We ensure the activities we offer are physically active for sustained periods of time in order to encourage children to lead healthy, active lives. Children have opportunities to take on leadership roles in which they can build character and embed core values such as fairness and respect.

What do PE lessons at Ladysmiths look like?
All pupils benefit from at least two hours of Physical Education a week. Teaching is supported by the scheme, ‘Get Set 4 PE’, enabling childrens’ skills to develop and be applied across a wide range of sports and activities. Lessons also develop childrens' awareness of healthy and active lifestyles and support improved emotional well-being, improved focus, concentration and behaviour. PE lessons provide children opportunities to develop key skills such as leadership, confidence, social and team building skills. Our lessons cover a wide range of sports and activities that provide children with many varied opportunities to help them to find 'their sport'.
