Vision Statement

At Broadoak, our vision for PE is to provide a high quality PE curriculum which inspires all pupils to succeed and excel in competitive sport and other physically-demanding activities. We provide opportunities for pupils to become physically confident in a way which supports their health and fitness. We provide opportunities to compete in sport and other activities build character and help to embed values such as fairness and respect.

We provide a broad and balanced curriculum which allows the children to develop their knowledge, skills and understanding across a wide range of PE activities and sports. We focus on developing the skills necessary for children to engage in healthy lifestyles. This links closely with our Healthy Schools agenda. We believe that PE skills and knowledge of healthy lifestyles will enable the children to develop into fit, healthy and confident participators of sport adopting a healthy lifestyle through to adulthood.

PE in Early Years

At Broadoak, we provide a broad and balanced physical education programme with activities designed to be enjoyable, vigorous, purposeful and regular. PE is taught by our Health and Wellbeing Team – Coach Kim and Coach Vicki. In EYFS our main aim is to work on their fundamental skills, making each lesson fun and enjoyable.

Alongside their weekly PE sessions, in Nursery there is daily emphasis on outdoor play during all weather conditions. There is an emphasis on moving in order to keep warm. The resources that the children are given provide opportunities to develop fine and gross motor skills. Children are actively encouraged to use the outdoor environment every day, enquiry 'hooks' for learning are a feature of teacher planning for outdoor exploration.

Alongside Reception's weekly PE sessions, they also have daily access to the outdoor classroom which gives the children the opportunity to play on the bikes, the climbing frames and play games such as frisbee and other throwing and catching games. The children participate in Woodland explorers' sessions, which promote team building skills, journeying, fire building skills and orienteering.

The Daily Mile

The aim of The Daily Mile is to improve the physical, social, emotional and mental health and wellbeing of our children – regardless of age, ability or personal circumstances. The Daily Mile is a social physical activity, with children running or jogging – at their own pace – in the fresh air with friends. Children can occasionally walk to catch their breath, if necessary, but should aim to run or jog for the full 15 minutes. We want every child to have the opportunity to do The Daily Mile at Broadoak.

After School Clubs

Extra-curricular clubs are growing at Broadoak and throughout the year we offer a wide range of sports including: tag-rugby, netball, basketball, football, youth club, cricket, dodgeball, yoga and athletics.

Additionally, we also have clubs in the morning before school and lunch time such as cross country, athletics and football.
