The Academy of Woodlands

Our new long term overview falls in line with the new Primary Curriculum 2014. This long term plan covers all of the key outcomes stated within the new PE Primary Curriculum 2014.

All of our children have access to 2 hours high quality PE throughout the school. 

Within Key Stage 1, we will ensure that all children are given the opportunity to develop and master basic skills and movements as well as their agility, balance and co-ordination. To practise applying these skills, the children will participate in various team games, which enable them to develop simpe tactics for attacking and defending. 

On a weekly basis throughout the year, all KS1 children will perform dances using simple movement patterns under the guidance of a qualified dance teacher. In addition to this, the children will participate in BEAM activities. 

Within Key Stage 2, each year group will particpate in a number of individual sports as well as sports which require team work, such as; net and wall games, striking and fielding games, invasion games and OAA. 

Within Lower Key Stage 2, the children will engage in multi-skill activities. This is to help further their fundamental skills to enable them to successfully participate in a variety of sports. 

Each year group, from years 3-6, will go swimming for two terms a year. Year 2 children will have an introduction to swimming to assess their swimming ability, confidence and competence. Once children can confidently swim 25 metres independently, they will no longer attend swimming lessons. These children, therefore, shall participate in circuit training activities for half an hour. This will help to build upon their strength and stamina.
