PE and Sport
Happy, Healthy, Fit and Active
We aim to make Physical Education (P.E.) at Stourport Primary fun and engaging, providing all children with access to a variety of activities both in competitive and non-competitive environments.
By making our P.E. curriculum fully inclusive, children will be encouraged to achieve their personal best through challenging and progressive learning experiences. Pupils will be supported to become competent movers, developing their physical, social, thinking and creative skills.
Throughout their time at our school, sporting values will be promoted and children will develop an understanding of the importance of adopting a healthy active lifestyle.
Pupils have two hours of P.E. timetabled per week through which we develop the six areas of activity as set out in the National Curriculum – Dance; Games; Gymnastics; Athletics; Outdoor and Adventurous activities; Swimming in year 6. We aim for all pupils leaving the school to be able to swim at least 25m.
Sports taught include football; tag rugby; netball; basketball; boccia and short tennis, as well as athletics. All pupils take part in a range of tournaments and sports festivals both within school between year groups and with other schools.
Stourport Primary Academy’s physical education culture promotes a long-term healthy lifestyle that is enjoyable and fulfilling. Our children are inspired to engage in physical activity, raise their attainment, extend their potential and develop a lifelong active lifestyle.
By placing P.E. and sport at the heart of a broad and balanced curriculum we aim to raise attendance and narrow the achievement gap. Our P.E. and sport aspires to build self-esteem, support their social and emotional development, teamwork and leadership skills enabling each child to be the best they can be by:
We are very proud that Stourport Primary Academy has been awarded the Platinum Schools Games Mark. The School Games Mark is a Government led awards scheme launched in 2012 to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community.
Our partnership with the School Sports Partnership enables our children to explore a wide-range of new sports and participate in a number of festivals and competitions with children from across the Wyre Forest area.
