PE & Sport at Kippax North

Our Vision

At Kippax North physical education is an essential part of a child’s educational development. We have a balanced program which includes a variety of activities, providing students with opportunities to build fitness levels and develop a broad spectrum of skills. We also teach the knowledge necessary to use these skills for a lifetime of active participation. We at Kippax North are committed to delivering a high-quality PE and Sport curriculum that develops the knowledge, movement skills, fitness and social skills that our children need to enjoy leading healthy, active lifestyles.

Our Aims

We aim for all children to develop:

● The ability to acquire new knowledge and skills and develop an in-depth understanding of PE.

● The willingness to practise skills in a wide range of different activities and situations, alone, in small groups and in teams and to apply these skills in chosen activities to achieve high levels of performance.

● High levels of physical fitness.

● A healthy lifestyle, including eating sensibly, avoiding smoking, drugs and alcohol and exercising regularly.

● The ability to remain physically active for sustained periods of time and an understanding of the importance of this in promoting long-term health and well-being.

● The ability to take the initiative and become young leaders. To be involved in organising and officiating, and evaluating what needs to be done to improve. Children are empowered to motivate and instil positive sporting attitudes in others.

● Exceptional levels of originality, imagination and creativity in their techniques, tactics and choreography.

● Knowledge of how to improve their own and others’ performance and the ability to work independently for extended periods of time without the need of guidance or support.

● The ability to swim at least 25 metres before the end of Year 6 and knowledge of how to remain safe in and around water.

In addition to physical activities, PE lessons may involve children in:

● Recordinging – film children doing skills, interview children

● Umpiring/refereeing: start/stop game, enforce rules, be neutral

● Supporting: praise/motivate, feedback positives in performances

● Organising: Keep everyone on task, record results, and timekeeper for games

● Leading: make sure team uses tactics, make decisions in games

● Coaching: suggest new tactics, help individuals improve
