66 | P a g e Why we do this in P.E. The reasons we teach what we do in P.E. PE is vital to pupils’ physical, mental, social and emotional development, and health. Children at Normanton Junior Academy are encouraged to reach their full potential in an inclusive, challenging, and engaging environment. We aim to foster respect, determination, creation, creativity, enthusiasm, and enjoyment of PE and Sports across the whole school from Year 3 to Year 6. We want our children to leave actively wanting to seek further opportunities in Sport and PE, and have a good attitude to health and well-being. We encourage and give our pupils the opportunity to participate in a range of active experiences, which can lead to representing our school in national and community competitions, as well as sporting events. Competition builds self-esteem and confidence. It encourages perseverance and resilience. Research and pedagogical practice shows this then creates good team work, fostering character and respect; it is found to have a positive impact on behaviour.
67 | P a g e ”PE provides me to get active and learn new skills because I don’t always have the opportunity outside of school.” Year 6 pupil “PE at school gets me out of the classroom and takes my mind off any worries.” Year 4 pupil “The lessons build on skills I have already been taught last year, to challenge me”. Year 5 pupil “PE is important because it builds my life skills and uses the school’s learning powers”. Sports Council “I love basketball. In after-school club I could still join in when I was tired and had to sit down. Mr Richardson made it enjoyable”. Kingsley (Year 5) “The teachers’ model what we need to do to achieve the skill taught. This makes it achievable for everyone.” Year 6 pupil
68 | P a g e How we do this in P.E. What underpins our P.E. curriculum At Normanton Junior Academy, we are committed to providing a high-quality Physical Education (P.E.) curriculum that promotes physical development, as well as the adoption of active and healthy lifestyles. To deliver this curriculum, we draw on a range of factors that have been shown to be effective in engaging pupils, promoting learning, and helping them achieve their potential. We begin by using the framework and programme of study of the National Curriculum for P.E. to provide a strong foundation for our teaching. This ensures that our pupils receive a broad and balanced education that covers all the essential areas of physical development, including athletics, dance, games, gymnastics, and swimming. To support this curriculum, we also promote learning through a wide variety of teaching and learning styles, drawing on our partnership with Wakefield Trinity Primary Education, Leeds United Foundation, and Ackworth School, to deliver sessions and teacher CPD. We also believe in developing a framework of benchmarking for assessment within all physical education, allowing us to track pupils' progress effectively and adjust our teaching accordingly. In addition to these approaches, we also believe in providing opportunities for pupils to participate in competitive games within the Waterton Academy Trust. This allows our pupils to hone their skills and develop a sense of teamwork and sportsmanship. We are also committed to supporting all pupils to reach realistic goals and beat targets, regardless of their abilities. For those pupils who are 'gifted and talented,' we work to maximize their potential by providing them with the challenges and opportunities they need to excel. To encourage pupils to evaluate their own progress and identify areas for further improvement, we provide regular feedback and support to help them understand their strengths and areas for development. We also believe in encouraging pupils to adopt active and healthy lifestyles, both inside and outside of school. This includes organizing and participating in intra and inter school competitions and workshops, as well as participation in the Wakefield and West Yorkshire Schools Games events/competitions. We also work with external providers, such as Bikeability and GT Sports, to provide additional opportunities for physical development. Finally, we believe in the importance of promoting healthy lifestyle choices and the importance of fitness and healthy living. To support this, we provide access to a range of high-quality fiction and non-fiction texts to support mental and physical development. By combining these factors, we are able to provide a comprehensive and effective P.E. curriculum that supports our pupils' physical, mental, and emotional development.
69 | P a g e What you will see in P.E. What you will see in P.E. lessons and around school At Normanton Junior Academy, we aim to achieve a lifelong passion for sport, health and wellbeing through participation in Physical Education and sport and by developing the attitudes, skills and knowledge required to be a leader and provide memorable experiences throughout a student’s journey within Physical Education. We achieve this by providing an engaging, varied and challenging curriculum that allows all students to achieve beyond their expectations. Every child will have the opportunity to represent our school and achieve in sport and competition. As athletes at Normanton Junior Academy, you will see children being provided with opportunity to be creative, competitive and face-up to different challenges as individuals, groups and in teams. Imperative to our school and PE and sport, we learn the fundamental motor skills that enables us to develop their competence that creates confidence and leads to safe and successful participation in a wide range of sports. All lessons and sporting situations, that children participate in, help to promote positive attitudes towards a healthy and active lifestyle highlighting that regular, physical activity is the best antidote for this. All children at NJA, irrespective of their ability, will enjoy competition, successes and develop their individual potential. Pupils learn about: • using running, jumping, throwing and catching in isolation and in combination; • playing competitive games, modified where appropriate (for example, badminton, basketball, cricket, football, hockey, netball, rounders and tennis), and apply basic principles suitable for attacking and defending; • developing flexibility, strength, technique, control and balance (for example, through athletics and gymnastics); • performing dances using a range of movement patterns; • taking part in outdoor and adventurous activity challenges both individually and within a team; • comparing their performances with previous ones and demonstrate improvement to achieve their personal best.
