P.E

Welcome to the Flash Ley PE Page.

The subject lead is Miss Young.

Physical Education is "Education through the physical". It aims to develop pupils' physical competence and knowledge of movement and safety, and their ability to use these to perform in a wide range of activities associated with the development of an active and healthy lifestyle.

A high-quality Physical Education curriculum should engage and inspire all pupils to succeed and excel in competitive sport and other physically-demanding activities. It should provide opportunities for pupils to become physically confident in a way which supports their health and fitness and allows them to compete in sport and other activities which build character and help to embed values such as fairness and respect.

Our intention at Flash Ley Primary School is to ensure that PESSPA (Physical Education, School Sport and Physical Activity) is experienced regularly, in a safe and supportive environment, as it is a unique and vital contributor to a pupil’s physical development and well-being. PESSPA is the only subject whose primary focus is on the body; it uniquely addresses the physical development aim of the curriculum as well as making a significant contribution to spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of young people. Through Flash Ley’s high quality Physical Education programme, our pupils will become physically literate and develop the knowledge, skills and motivation necessary to equip them for a healthy, active lifestyle and lifelong participation in physical activity and sport.
