At Ouston Primary, we recognise the vital role of Physical Education in supporting pupil’s physical development, emotional wellbeing and lifelong health. We aim to develop successful, confident individuals who will have a life-long, positive attitude towards healthy living and active lifestyles. Our PE curriculum is fully aligned with the National Curriculum for Physical Education (DfE, 2013) and aims to ensure al pupils:
- develop confidence and competence to take part in a broad range of physical activities
- develop a range of sporting skills including swimming
- are physically active for sustained periods of time
- engage in competitive sports and activities
- lead healthy, active lives
- understand the importance and effect of exercise and being healthy
- develop a sense of fair play and sportsmanship
- enjoy sporting activities and have fun
Through high-quality PE teaching, pupils develop fundamental movement skills, improved physical fitness, resilience, teamwork, fairness and respect. We aim to foster positive attitudes towards physical activity that will last beyond primary school.
School Sport & Physical Activity
Ouston Primary School has a rich history of sporting success. We aim to provide children with as many opportunities as possible to be active, have fun and experience as many new sporting activities as possible beyond the PE curriculum.
We regularly take part in a wide range of inter school sports organised by the local Schools Sports Partnership and our local schools associations. These include: Football, Netball, Cross Country, Tag Rugby, Athletics and Cricket.
Every year group also has the opportunity to attend at least one (often more) fun festival throughout the year. These include: Multi-skills, Tennis, Cricket, Team Building Activities, Tri-Golf and even Quidditch.
Throughout the year, we also provide a number of after school clubs including: Netball, Football, Cricket, Fit & Fun, Multi-Skills and Athletics.
