The PE Curriculum at Nettleworth Infant and Nursery School

At Nettleworth Infant and Nursery School, we are Athletes! Our aim is for our children to be enthusiastic and active participants in Physical Education, who engage in a variety of physical activities with energy and joy. They will develop fundamental movement skills and understand the importance of physical activity for a healthy lifestyle. Through engaging in running, jumping, throwing, and catching, both individually and in teams, children will learn the values of teamwork, fair play, and perseverance.

Nettleworth Infant and Nursery school is a unique and wonderful school, we have identified the need to shape and drive the curriculum based on our school vision and ethos. We have developed 6 key curriculum drivers which underpin the learning and experiences we undertake in all areas of school life. These run as a thread throughout each curriculum subject to ensure our curriculum is enriched and implemented to provide appropriate and ambitious curriculum opportunities for our children to SHINE. 

Our PE curriculum is well sequenced and progressive throughout the school, taking into consideration the development of agility, balance, and coordination. In order to support our children in their ability to know more and remember more, there are opportunities to review previous learning and build on it, ensuring they thrive.

An Athlete leaving Nettleworth Infant and Nursery School will have a positive attitude towards physical activity and a strong foundation in fundamental movement skills. They will have acquired the specific skills and knowledge to help them stay active and healthy, and the confidence to participate in various physical activities. We believe that the impact of our coherent PE curriculum is that children develop a lifelong love of physical activity, teachers have high expectations, and quality evidence is presented through learning walks, video evidence and pupil voice.
