PE & Sport
PE is engaging in physical activity, competitive sport and learning how to live healthy, active lives..
Vision for PE (Intent)
Mayfield Primary School believes that Physical Education (PE), experienced in a safe and supportive environment, is essential to ensure children attain optimum physical and emotional development and good health. We intend to deliver high-quality teaching and learning opportunities that inspire all children to succeed in physical education and in developing life skills. We do this with the support of a scheme called GetSet4PE. We want children to have a developed understanding of the physiology of the body and how exercise impacts our long-term health and wellbeing. We want to teach children skills to keep them safe such as being able to swim. We also want to teach children how to cooperate and collaborate with others as part of an effective team, understanding fairness and equity of play to embed life-long values. The skills are taught using four main categories which include, physical, social, emotional and thinking.
