PE Curriculum

It is our vision that all children at Bollin experience excellent physical education, school sport and physical activity creating universal enthusiasm about physical activity; where every child feels confident and ready to participate, leading to lifelong enjoyment, participation and active lifestyle choices.

At Bollin, we recognise the importance of providing a high-quality, broad PE curriculum that is exciting, engaging and challenging, inspiring pupils to access, succeed and excel in sport (competitive and non-competitive) and other physical activities. Opportunities to be physically active help to further embed a pattern of health and wellbeing that can be sustained into adult life enabling informed decisions to be made in pursuit a healthy lifestyle. By providing a platform to compete in sport, we offer opportunity for our children to experience healthy social interactions: teaching co-operation through being part of a team; resilience to face challenges, therefore dealing with success and defeat; honest competition fostering a sense of ‘fair play’ and sportsmanship.

In a world where obesity is on the rise, as we lead more sedentary lifestyles, it is vital that we provide opportunities for ALL children to become physically confident to support their health, fitness and wellbeing whilst enabling them to make healthy lifestyle choices.  In doing so, we will be equipping our children to apply their physical, mental, emotional and  social skills successfully as they move to their next stage in an ever evolving and challenging world, fostering a love of  physical activity, health and nutrition and a greater awareness of the impact of the benefits of leading an active, healthy lifestyle.
