Our beliefs

At Studley Green Primary School, we believe that Physical Education should help children develop a lifelong enjoyment of physical activity and an understanding of how movement supports both physical and mental well‑being.

We believe that every child should be supported to find an activity they enjoy and feel motivated by, whether that is through traditional sports, gymnastics, dance or alternative ways of staying active. PE should be inclusive and accessible, ensuring that all pupils experience success and develop confidence in their physical abilities.

Physical Education also plays a vital role in developing character and resilience. Through PE, pupils learn to persevere, manage challenge, work as part of a team and respond positively to success and setbacks. Competitive sport is valued as an opportunity for pupils to develop respect, fairness, teamwork and self‑discipline, while understanding how to compete with integrity.

Our PE curriculum

At Studley Green, our PE curriculum is ambitious, inclusive and carefully structured, ensuring that all pupils develop physical competence, confidence and positive attitudes towards sport and physical activity.

We deliver PE using the Complete P.E. scheme, which provides a broad and balanced curriculum with clear progression across key physical skills, knowledge and understanding. Lessons are carefully sequenced so that pupils revisit and build on skills over time, developing increasing control, coordination and confidence.

The curriculum offers pupils opportunities to:

• Take part in a wide range of physical activities
• Develop fundamental movement skills and sport‑specific techniques
• Engage in competitive and cooperative activities
• Improve fitness, stamina and overall physical health

PE lessons place a strong emphasis on participation and sustained engagement, ensuring that pupils are active for meaningful periods of time and experience the benefits of regular physical activity. Teaching is adapted where needed so that all pupils can access the same ambitious curriculum and experience success.

Through our PE curriculum, pupils develop an understanding of the importance of leading healthy, active lives. We aim for pupils to leave Studley Green with the confidence and motivation to remain physically active, alongside the character skills needed to participate positively in sport and physical activity beyond primary school.
