Mulbarton Primary School PE Vision

Children at Mulbarton Primary School participate in 2 hours of PE every week in a progressive and sequenced curriculum, and partake in enriching sports and physical activity, in addition to weekly PE, which involves opportunities for intra- and inter- school competition.

Mulbarton Primary School Policy Statement

At Mulbarton Primary School, we believe that physical education is an essential part of children’s learning and well-being. We provide a broad and balanced programme for the delivery of PE across the school. In EYFS, we introduce the children to PE, teaching the fundamental movement skills, games, dance and gymnastics. In KS1 and KS2, our activities are based on the National Curriculum objectives and include: invasion games, athletics, OAA, gymnastics, dance, net and wall games, striking and fielding games, and swimming.

Our school follows a scheme of work which focusses on developing children’s sporting skills in a sequenced and progressive manner through modelling, practising and application. Children also have a choice of challenges to choose from within their lessons allowing them to achieve their own personal best.

Mulbarton Primary is a member of the Norwich School Sports Partnership where children are given the opportunity to take part in out-of-school festivals, competitions and events with other schools in our area. In school, we encourage children to participate in daily physical activity, including the daily mile, and provide the opportunities to join our extra-curricular activities. These have included; football, basketball, tennis, gymnastics, multi-skills and street dance. Pupils also participate in intra-school competitions, where children in the four houses of Mulbarton Primary are given the opportunity to represent their house, competing against others to win points. We celebrate both in-school sport success and out-of-school sport success in our weekly celebration assemblies.
