PE

Intent  

Physical Education is essentially providing our children with high quality opportunities to become physically confident in a way which supports their health and fitness. Children are inspired to succeed and excel in both competitive sport and other physical activities. The PE curriculum at Priory enables pupils to compete in sport and develop competence to excel in a broad range of physical activities. 

At Priory our intent is to in still a love of sport. We are passionate about raising sporting achievement and improving the health and wellbeing of all our children. Our aim is to deliver a high-quality PE curriculum, as well as offer a wide range of extra-curricular activities. We believe that a rich and varied PE curriculum can improve attainment, attendance and behaviour. Through our PE provision our children will develop confidence, skills and knowledge, be proud of their achievements, understand and demonstrate the need for fair play and respect and develop the skills and attitudes needed for every child to have a lifelong participation in physical activity and healthy living.
