Bishops Lydeard Church School 
PE
Our Physical Education curriculum is based on the following principles:
- Providing children with the life long love of sports and exercise in order to instil a commitment to participation throughout their lives.
- To improve health and wellbeing by making sport and exercise fun and engaging.
- Through inspiring children through learning about role models and heroes from with their local community.
- To raise aspirations through developing experiences which the children may otherwise not get.
- To develop competitiveness and desire to achieve their best – understanding the importance of accepting defeat and being gracious in victory.
- To enhance and develop teamwork as a way to improve and succeed – which can be applied across all aspects of their lives.
- To understand that sport can bring people and communities together and is a strong tool for community improvement.
PE Intent
Through a high-quality physical education curriculum, we aim to inspire all pupils to succeed and excel in a range of sports skills to reflect our vision of ‘live life in all its fullness’. We aim for pupils to become physically confident in a way which supports their health and fitness and allows them to be physically active for sustained periods of time. We aim to offer all pupils opportunities to compete in sport and other activities to build character and help to embed values such as fairness and respect.
