The PE Curriculum 

PE at Brunswick is a weekly highlight and we collectively encourage all children to become ‘Fit for Life!’. A variety of skills and sports are taught across the school. We use https://peplanning.org.uk/  a published scheme which promotes progression and development in sport and fitness from Reception to Year 6. 

Each week, all children have the recommended 2 hours of physical education. This is achieved through a combination of dance, gym, fitness and outdoor sports. Children in year 3 and 4 have swimming lessons across the year, delivered by trained swimming instructors at a local leisure centre. All children understand the need for water safety.

With extensive grounds, we are able to offer a variety of opportunities for all children. We have a fun fort, trim trail, a hard-court area (known as the stadium) and a large field. Teachers, and our sports coach, are enthusiastic and take part in every lesson to inspire the children. Lessons are accessible and adapted for all.   

All children are encouraged to achieve success with determination and joy.  Within each lesson, the children are praised for their sporting achievements measured against our school values. The values are also recognised in our extra-curricular clubs.  

We provide regular opportunities for all children to take part in inter-school and intra-school competitions at different levels and have retained our recognised Gold Active Schools Games Mark.
