The National Curriculum

Physical Education and the Curriculum

“PE makes the heart beat faster”

(NC Pages128-129)

PE is an active subject where pupils should be

engaged in their learning as actively as possible

PE is a doing subject!

Foundation Stage

The PE National Curriculum

Knowledge, Skills and Understanding

1. Acquiring and Developing Skills

2. Selecting and applying skills, tactics and compositional ideas

3. Evaluating and improving performance

4. Knowledge and understanding of fitness and health

Attainment Targets

KS1 – Levels 1-3 - most level 2 KS2 – Levels 2-5 - most level 4 KS3 – Levels 3-7 - most level 5/6

Pupils link skills, techniques and ideas and apply them accurately and appropriately. Their performance shows precision, control and fluency, and that they understand tactics and composition. They compare and comment on skills, techniques and ideas used in their own and others' work, and use this understanding to improve their performance. They explain and apply basic safety principles in preparing for exercise. They describe what effects exercise has on their bodies, and how it is valuable to their fitness and health.

Breadth of StudyKey Stage 1

During the key stage, pupils should be taught the Knowledge, skills and understanding through:

dance activities games activities gymnastic activities

Swimming activities and water safety may also be chosen as an area of activity for pupils. Pupils should work towards the key stage 2 teaching requirements in relation to swimming activities and water safety.

Key Stage 2During the key stage, pupils should be taught the Knowledge, skills and understanding through five areas of activity:

dance activities games activities gymnastic activities    and two activity areas from: swimming activities and water safety athletic activities outdoor and adventurous activities.  

Swimming activities and water safety must be chosen as one of these areas of activity unless pupils have completed the full key stage 2 teaching requirements in relation to swimming activities and water safety during key stage 1.
