At Hallam Fields Junior School, we want to give children opportunities to participate in a range of physical education and activities which broaden their existing knowledge and opportunities.
As a collective school team, we are committed to fostering a love for physical activity and well-being, holistically, from an early age. Our PE scheme we use is called ‘Primary PE Planning’ and is designed to promote not only physical fitness but also teamwork, confidence, and healthy living habits. This year, we are also using Premier Education’s planning support to aid our planning to meet our children’s needs.
Throughout the year, we participate in competitive events and festivals through Erewash School Sports Partnership as well as occasional other partners within school. We plan our curriculum to encompass the aims and programmes of study in the National Curriculum for Key Stage 2 and to be progressive so that the children develop their skills, knowledge and understanding throughout the four years with us.
Alongside our 2 hourly lessons of PE a week in each year group, we offer a range of after-school clubs too. Our PE specialist coach runs clubs such as netball, sports-hall athletics and tennis throughout the year and caters clubs to interests each year. For the past few years we have also managed to set up both a football and a netball club which have training sessions throughout the year as well as friendly fixtures against other local schools. Furthermore, we really support and promote girls’ football at Hallam Fields and dedicate our Friday lunchtime games area to girls only football to excel this further.
Our goal is to inspire students to enjoy physical activity, develop lifelong fitness habits, and gain confidence through sport. Teachers also give PE awards and certificates out in our special celebration assembly on a Friday to inspire each other to try their hardest and push further. You will find below links to our overview of PE alongside images of our children participating in physical activities and competitions.
