St Stephen’s CE (VA) Primary School

Aims of Physical Education at St Stephen's

At St Stephen’s we strive to provide a high-quality physical education curriculum that inspires all pupils to succeed and excel in competitive sport and other physically demanding activities through a progressive scheme, focusing on the five areas of physical literacy: object control, locomotion, stability, psycho-social and health, and well-being. It provides opportunities for pupils to become physically confident in a way that supports their health and fitness as well as opportunities to compete in sport and other activities that build character and help to embed values such as fairness and respect.
