PE (Physical Education) at The Avenue
 

At The Avenue Primary School we believe that PE has a unique role in education that extends beyond 5-18yrs, providing lifelong learning opportunities beyond the classroom. By encouraging all our pupils to be physically active, they will:

   •  Improve their knowledge of health and wellbeing.
   •  Develop fundamental movement skills which are the building blocks for a sport specific curriculum            both inside and out of school.
   •  Learn to work safely.
   •  Develop many personal skills and lifelong values such as communication, collaboration and                 leadership of others.

All schools across Acorn Education Trust use Complete PE which is endorsed by the Youth Sport Trust. It covers a large number of activities and can be tailored to the curriculum delivered at our school. Each unit provides assessment opportunities in a variety of ways which are undertaken. Acorn Education Trust organises festivals and competitions for Key Stage 1 & 2 and SEND pupils giving all the opportunity to extend their experience beyond curriculum time.

We ensure our PE Curriculum is rooted in the vision and ethos of the school, through ensuring that as well as delivering knowledge and skills, lessons also develop our Avenue core values of:
 
Aspiration
Positivity
Pride
Resilience
Respect
Responsibility
