At Exmoor Link Federation Schools we believe that a high-quality physical education curriculum inspires our pupils to excel and succeed in physically demanding activities and competitive sports. We aim to support our pupils to develop important life skills such as resilience and determination as well as their own health and fitness whilst providing them with opportunities to become physically confident. We wish to inspire our pupils to be involved in competitive sport and other activities to help build character and embed values, such as good sportsmanship and respect.

​

Our curriculum is designed to ensure that every child has the opportunity to flourish; our pupils take part in a variety of sports including netball, cricket, tennis, gymnastics, athletics, dance and swimming. We deliver this by teaching the National Curriculum objectives along with “PE Planning”, which is used as a resource to support the progression and development of skills. Our pupils receive two PE lessons a week by their class teacher. Teachers provide opportunities within their lessons to allow pupils to become confident, resilient learners, work in a team, build effective physical skills and to have an awareness of a healthy lifestyle.

 

Children in Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 receive 6 swimming sessions a year at our local swimming pool. We actively participate in local sporting tournaments and leagues, competing against other North Devon schools. We ensure all of our pupils have the opportunity to represent the school at events, during their time with us.

 

We promote extra-curricular activities by regularly celebrating awards in Achievement Assemblies and we encourage participation in clubs by providing sport opportunities after school, such as our football club.
