PE

At St Mary Magdalen’s Junior School, we strive to create a culture of deep understanding, confidence and competence in PE, regardless of learner’s starting points. Our goal is to shape assured, happy, resilient and healthy individuals who relish all challenges in every area of PE. 

We encourage all pupils to become independent, reflective thinkers, whose skills not only support them in PE but also across the whole curriculum.

We follow a specific sequence of learning across all areas of the P.E. National Curriculum, which flow in a logical order, presenting the PE staff with flexibility in the delivery of their lessons. We Record pupils’ P.E. attainment using our built- in assessment tool. The assessment tool automatically calculates the percentage of pupils on track to meet the age- related expectations (ARE).
