Aims to support children’s physical health and wellbeing • improve outcomes for children •
Early Years Developing Understanding of ‘How Children Learn’ • Developing children’s gross and fine motor skills through physical activity supports progress in learning and understanding, particularly in writing • Helping practitioners to understand the stages of children’s physical development so the curriculum reflects levels; whilst setting good challenge it does not place unreal expectations on young children
PE in the National Curriculum A high-quality physical education curriculum inspires all pupils to succeed and excel in competitive sport and other physically demanding activities. It should provide opportunities for pupils to become physically confident in a way which supports their health and fitness. Opportunities to compete in sport and other activities build character and help to embed values such as fairness and respect . It is up to schools to determine how much time is devoted to PE in the curriculum but departmental guidance recommends that they should provide pupils with a minimum of two hours curricular PE per week
