Physical Education and Sport

At Witchampton First School, we believe that physical education is a vital part of every child’s First School experiences, and physical well-being for every learner is given high priority within our School Aims.

We want to see every child develop and grow in physical confidence and dexterity, and participate in a range of physical educational opportunities, including competitive sport. Above all else, we aim for our children to develop an enjoyment of physical activity and an understanding of how to live a healthy lifestyle.

In addition, we continue to develop the Olympic values. Whole school and class projects are undertaken to promote physical exercise, health and well-being, and foster a love of keeping fit and healthy:

• Sport’s relief
• Active Kids
• Maypole Dancing

School Sports Premium

The School Sports Premium is funding which is being provided by the Department for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport, for schools to spend on improving the quality of physical education and sport for all their children.

For the purposes of assessment and measuring impact and progress in P.E teachers are using 'Core Tasks' to ensure that pupils know:

• What they can do
• How well they can do it
• What they need to work on

The core tasks give pupils the opportunity to use what they have learnt and in discussion with their teacher, look at what skills they need to work on. They also enable them to make progress by improving the quality of their performance in particular tasks. Teachers are able use the core tasks to recognise and validate pupil progress.
