At Carr Infant School we strive to deliver outstanding PE where children participate confidently in a wide range of experiences, allowing them to create positive relationships with physical activity for life. 

 Our intent is for pupils to:

• To provide an creative and ambitious PE curriculum, where our children enjoy and have the confidence to participate in a range of physical activities. 
• To inspire and challenge our children, through ample learning opportunities and a safe and happy learning environment, to achieve excellent standards in PE. To enjoy and have the confidence to participate in a range of physical activities.
• To encourage all children to become resilient, ambitious and determined young individuals, who are passionate about achieving their best.
• To embed lifelong healthy habits and understanding of all aspects of a healthy lifestyle including mental wellbeing and nutrition.
• To be proud of their achievements, both individually and as a team player. Showing an understanding of how communication is key to succeed.  

This is implemented in school through:

• In EYFS, physical development is taught predominantly through a play-based curriculum, where children have access to a range of physical challenges both indoors and outdoors every day.
• The use of our Jasmine online learning platform provides staff with the confidence and creativity to deliver high quality and progressive lessons.
• Effective and progressive PE Curriculum (see progression document) that allows children to develop and build on prior learning. 
• PE is delivered by a specialist PE teacher employed by the school to deliver creative and innovative lessons.
• Investment in the School Sports Partnership to allow all pupils to participate in competitions with local schools.
• Celebrating our own successes through intra-competitions and recognising the sporting successes of role models around the world.

The impact of our PE approach is:  

• Children strive for sporting success and develop skills of resilience, sportsmanship, and determination. 
• Our pupils talk confidently and positively about PE and their learning.
• Children love participating in sport, and develop lifelong healthy habits.
• Children will experience a range of physical activity skills, developing confidence to compete against their peers, discussing their emotions related to success or failure and how to react in each situation.
