Foundation stage 1 and 2
At St Andrew’s International Primary School we recognize the importance of PE plays in the curriculum and are committed to providing all children with opportunities to engage fully in Physical Education. The aim of our PE programme is to develop children's basic physical competencies, build confidence in their ability and build the foundations for a lifelong love of sport, physical activity and a healthy lifestyle. PE lessons encourage children to compete against themselves and others whilst being challenged to improve their physical, social, emotional and thinking skills.
These skills are embedded in the heart of our planning. Our objectives in the teaching of PE align with the National Curriculum in that we aim to ensure all pupils:
-
Develop competence to excel in a broad range of physical activities
-
Are physically active for sustained periods of time
-
Engage in competitive sports and activities
-
Lead healthy, active lives
-
Promote a healthy and active lifestyle
-
Encourage physical activity and exercise
-
Develop competence to excel in a broad range of physical activities
-
Build self-esteem, confidence and resilience
-
Provide all pupils with access to the lessons
At St Andrew’s, we have recently adopted the Complete PE scheme to teach our PE across the school. This scheme ensures that children are given a wealth of opportunities to develop their physical movement skills as well as achieving whole child objectives.
PE Intent Year 1-Year 6

At St Andrew’s, each child receives 2 hours of curriculum PE time on a weekly basis, which is carefully planned and mapped out to ensure a broad and full range of skills and activities are covered. These sessions are delivered by specialist PE teachers during PE lessons. Additionally, there is an hour of dance delivered by our in-house dance teacher.
Pupils in KS1 are given ample opportunities to develop their fundamental movement skills and extend their agility, balance and coordination. They engage in competitive and cooperative physical activities through games, aquatics, dance and gymnastics.
In KS2, pupils continue to apply and develop a broader range of skills such as running, jumping, throwing and catching. These skills are incorporated into competitive games, performances using movement patterns and evaluations of their own and others’ work. Pupils communicate and collaborate with each other and develop an understanding of how to improve in physical activities. There are many opportunities across each academic year for children to take part in inter-school and intra school competitions, as well as festivals, where children are sporting successes and participation is celebrated. Each year group also has an opportunity to work with specialist dance/PE teachers who are highly skilled experts, producing engaging and challenging activities to ensure each child reaches their potential and has the confidence to challenge themselves beyond the norms.
Children from foundation stages to Years 6 attend swimming lessons at the on-campus swimming pool where they are taught how to swim competently, confidently and proficiently over 25m, using a range of strokes. Children who are not on track to achieve the National Curriculum requirement by the end of Year 6 are identified and attend extra lessons to improve their skills and confidence.
