Physical Education (PE)

Please click here for information about how we use the Sport and PE Grant

At Beech Grove Primary school, every child is taught PE for a minimum of two hours a week. Our class teachers and Mr Parsons, our specialist Sports Coach, teach indoor and outdoor PE lessons to the pupils. Our PE Leader is Mrs Heywood, who co-ordinates our PE provision across the school. In addition to this, several of our class teachers have a specialism in PE, or have led whole school PE in previous roles. In addition to this, we have a qualified gymnastics coach and dance teacher on our support staff. This means we are incredibly fortunate to have a lot of expertise within our staff in teaching PE and Sport to all ages.

Through our high quality PE curriculum, children learn that being active is fun and an essential part of a healthy lifestyle. At the beginning of their school life, children learn and explore basic movement skills. They develop these skills throughout their time at Beech Grove and leave as confident movers able to play a wide range of sports.

To enable us to do this, we have use a scheme of work called 'Real PE'.

”The ‘Real PE’ programme has been developed to give ALL children the physical literacy, emotional and thinking skills to achieve in PE, Sport and life. It places the learner at the heart of what we do with the ultimate goal of children feeling valued, included, challenged and supported in their learning.”

Create Development

'Real PE' is a scheme of work by Create Development which encourages a broad, balanced, child - centred approach to P.E. and Sport. 'Real PE' praises behaviour not skill, passing the responsibility of the lesson to the learner. The ‘Real PE’ scheme is used throughout the school for one lesson a week (one hour). For the other hour of the children’s weekly PE we use SASP (Somerset Area Sports Partnership) plans and TOPs cards.

In year 3 and year 4, children develop their swimming and water safety skills through a block of swimming lessons at Wellington Sports Centre. These lessons are planned and taught by trained swimming instructors who provide targets for each of the ability groups. Throughout Key Stage 2 outdoor adventurous activity (OAA) opportunities are provided through residential trips.
