Physical Education Intent
At Stroud Valley, we believe that Physical Education is an essential part of every child's education, promoting healthy lifestyles, confidence and a lifelong enjoyment of being active. We aim to create a positive and inclusive environment where every child feels encouraged to participate, challenge themselves and experience success, regardless of their starting point.
Through a broad and engaging curriculum, children develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to take part in a wide range of physical activities. They learn to work both independently and as part of a team, building resilience, determination, respect and sportsmanship as they develop their physical competence. We encourage children to set personal goals, embrace challenge and understand that progress comes through practice, perseverance and learning from experience.
We make meaningful links between Physical Education and everyday life, helping children understand the importance of physical activity for their physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. Through games, gymnastics, dance, athletics, swimming and outdoor and adventurous activities, children develop agility, balance and coordination while discovering activities they enjoy.
Our aim is to nurture confident, resilient and active learners who appreciate the value of movement, understand the importance of leading healthy lives and leave Stroud Valley with the skills, knowledge and enthusiasm to remain physically active throughout their lives.
