Physical Education

Physical Education Intent:

At Cogenhoe Primary School it is our aim to cover a wide variety of sporting activities and deliver high quality PE lessons in a safe, supportive environment. Our aim for the children is to achieve their personal best and not fear competitive elements of sports, thus leading to a well-rounded sports person. We offer a holistic approach to Physical Education that includes healthy eating and mental wellbeing together with physical exercise. We are an Enhanced School with Northamptonshire Sport meaning we can offer a wider range of sporting activities and competitions. Our staff has access to high-quality subject specific CPD, to ensure they are equipped with the appropriate skills and knowledge needed to deliver high-quality lessons.

Our aims are:

  • To promote a holistic approach to a healthy mind and body – A wide range of indoor and outdoor activities will be taught, alongside sessions throughout the curriculum on healthy eating, knowing how to look after our bodies and mental health awareness, resulting in a longer and healthier life.
  • To encourage our children to be leaders – Our children will be shown how to respect and value rules and codes of conduct; understand the importance of responsibility; given opportunities to organise events and work as a team.
  • To develop physically literate individuals – Our children will be given knowledge, skills and confidence to enjoy a lifetime of healthy, physical activity by regular participation of sports in school alongside a variety of competitive events across the county

The curriculum states that all children should be able to swim at least 25 metres by the end of Year 6 and receive tuition regarding water safety.

What will the children need in order to swim?

Children will need a suitable swimming costume and a towel in a named plastic bag or swimming bag. Loose, baggy shorts are not suitable for boys. All children need to cover their hair with a swimming hat. All jewellery, including earrings must be removed. If your child has a verruca, please ensure they bring a verruca sock.

PE Kit

Your child requires an outdoor and indoor PE kit in school. The kit should stay at school at all times and will be sent home at the end of term. Please clearly label your child’s PE kit and check that your child’s trainers fit on a regular basis.

They require:

Plimsolls (optional in the case of verrucae)

Physical Education Impact:

Our children will leave Cogenhoe having had a wealth of opportunities to explore a wide variety of sports. They will be confident individuals who are aware of their strengths and weaknesses and truly value the importance of being part of a team and keeping their bodies fit and healty. Our children know and understand the types of sports that they prefer and a love of being active has been instilled in them to continue with their onward education. Our children have the ability to demonstrate determination to succeed and can learn from their mistakes to continue to improve when they lose. Our children love sport!
