At Helpringham Primary School, our curriculum intent is to develop our sense of ourselves, others and the world.

Our school aims to inspire all children to develop a love of physical activity and sport. Through good physical education, whole school values and a whole child approach, we aim to nurture confident, resilient children who will strive for their personal best. We listen to our children wants and needs and provide them with a range of active experiences and clubs. We want to aid our children in obtaining the values and skills to celebrate and respect the success of others, as well as modestly celebrating their own successes. We aim to ensure that our delivery of physical education allows all children to have the skills and mindset to leave primary school with the capabilities to be successful in their sporting challenges and active lifestyles at secondary school and beyond. We strive to educate both our children and families to develop a greater understanding on how to live healthy lifestyles and make healthy choices. We are dedicated to ensuring healthy minds, as well as bodies and will continue to support our children's well-being.

We ensure that high quality teaching drives high quality learning through regular  assessment for learning which ensures no child is left behind.

Our PE sessions will be both indoor and outdoor. They focus on mastering basic movements including running, jumping, throwing and catching, as well as developing balance, agility and co-ordination. Pupils are encouraged to participate in team games and to develop simple tactics for being an effective team member. 

We ensure wider participation in the community by involvement in interschool sports competitions hosted both in school and off site. Our house teams also take part in challenges and competitions in school.

Our curriculum vision document below demonstrates how PE links to our whole school vision, supporting our children to develop their sense of themselves, others and the world.
