When pupils leave WKPS we want them to demonstrate resilience, independence and have good knowledge of how to lead a healthy and active lifestyle. Pupils should understand the positive impact physical activity can have on their mental wellbeing and have the skills and enthusiasm needed to enjoy lifelong participation in physical activity and sport. As a school we value the impact PE and Sport can have on other areas of school life including parental engagement, social interaction, attendance and behaviour and will develop opportunities to support each of these areas throughout the provision of wider PE, Sport and Physical activity. For our pupils, the curriculum will place additional focus on water safety and school swimming, developing good physical fitness/stamina, establishing school teams and using leadership opportunities to further enhance skills such as communication, responsibility and organisation.
Implementation
At West Kirby Primary School the pupils receive a broad range of opportunities to promote sportsmanship, inclusivity, respect and tolerance. The pupils are taught how to develop self-regulation of emotions, through Mindfulness in Yoga sessions. They develop ownership of their own health and well-being through Food and Nutrition workshops, resulting in a healthy mind and body. This in turns leads to success and achievement in their whole school learning. Pupil voice allows children to describe their PE journey throughout their school life, expressing themselves clearly with informed comments about their PE Curriculum and provision.
