Intent

Here at Perry Wood, we aim to provide our children with a rich and varied PE curriculum with the aim to aid all children in developing themselves as individuals. Our inclusive, cross-curricular curriculum, ensures that all can achieve and therefore aims to instil a life-long love for being physically active. By using a broad and balanced curriculum, we not only aim to help children to develop their sporting abilities but also help individuals develop emotionally and socially – through building communication skills, resilience and perseverance.

At Perry Wood, we understand how important being active is for both our physical and mental health. Our staff are dedicated to leading by example and helping our children understand the importance of this, by providing the children with ways in which they can implement this into their daily lives also. Our school/Griffin values are always at the forefront when delivering and planning our PE curriculum; helping our children further develop a plethora of skills needed as they grow into young adults and beyond. Here at Perry Wood, we aim to provide all children with the opportunity to take part in competitive sports, our curriculum is carefully planned to ensure children feel prepared for sporting events and with the aim that children enjoy competitive sports – developing sportsmanship is key here.
