P.E.

At Shirley Heath, all children will engage in a supportive and rewarding Physical Education curriculum through a variety of physical activities and have many opportunities to represent our school community. They will:

• Develop competence to excel in a broad range of physical activities; be physically active for sustained periods by using The PE Hub planning; engage in competitive sports and activities and lead healthy, active lives.
• Children at Shirley Heath should continue to apply and develop a broader range of skills, learn how to use them in different ways and to link them to make actions and sequences of movement. We believe they should also enjoy communicating, collaborating and competing with each other. Throughout the curriculum, they should develop an understanding of how to improve in different physical activities and sports and learn how to evaluate and recognise their own success. This is evident in both Real PE and The PE Hub schemes that we utilise.
• To promote and encourage children to be physically active school citizens, all classes adopt Fitter Future. Fitter Future is a series of short workouts designed for the classroom which engage children and get them moving. This supports all of the children at Shirley Heath, including children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). Shirley Heath additionally adopt The PE Hub and Real PE planning schemes to support the development of our children. 

Shirley Heath were awarded School Games PLATINUM in July 2024. As part of our process towards platinum, as a school, we needed to complete a case study, outlining our work within P.E., School Sport and Physical Activity that went above and beyond the expectations of School Games Gold.
