At Ryders Green, we strive to give every child, every opportunity, at their one chance in primary school.

Intent

At Ryders Green Primary School, our PE and Sports curriculum aims to inspire all pupils to enjoy physical activity and develop a healthy, active lifestyle. We intend to provide opportunities for children to build confidence, resilience, teamwork, and personal achievement through a wide range of physical activities and sports. Our goal is for every child to develop key physical skills, understand the importance of fitness and well-being, and develop positive attitudes toward healthy living that last into adulthood.

Implementation

PE and sports are delivered through well-structured lessons that cover fundamental movement skills, team games, individual sports, and fitness activities. Lessons are tailored to meet the needs of all learners, ensuring inclusion and progression from early years through to upper key stages.

We also offer extracurricular clubs, competitive sports opportunities, and participation in local tournaments, enabling children to apply skills in real-life contexts. Specialist coaching and partnerships with external sports providers enrich the curriculum, while cross-curricular links promote understanding of health, nutrition, and well-being. Assessment, observation, and pupil feedback are used to monitor progress and inform planning.

Impact

The impact of our PE and Sports curriculum is that children develop confidence, coordination, and physical competence across a wide range of activities. Pupils understand the benefits of regular exercise and healthy lifestyles, work effectively as part of a team, and demonstrate resilience and determination. Many children develop a lifelong enjoyment of physical activity and aspire to continue participating in sports both inside and outside of school, with improved well-being, self-esteem, and a sense of achievement.
