PE & School Sport at Holbeach Primary Academy
We aim to help children build physical competence (knowledge and skills), self-confidence, and lifelong healthy habits. This will be achieved through them acquiring, developing and confidently demonstrating knowledge and skills across a wide range of activities, understanding rules within games and activities, the roles of teamwork, and developing their own personal qualities through the umbrella of the School Games values and the RealPE scheme of work.
Our Approach
In PE lessons our aims are for children to KNOW MORE and DO MORE, focusing on progression of Fundamental Movement Skills, as well as developing core learning behaviours across Core PE Games, Gymnastics, Dance and Orienteering.
In School Sport our aims are to provide children with access to a wide variety of sports and where possible pathways through school/club links to progress their abilities by joining local sports clubs.
We offer swimming to ALL KS2 children. We also provide Playground Leader training and leadership opportunities for KS2 children, along with Bikeability training for Year 6.
