Purpose of Study:

A high-quality physical education curriculum inspires all pupils to succeed and excel in physically demanding activities and competitive sport. It should provide opportunities for pupils to become physically confident in a way which supports their health and fitness. Opportunities to compete in sport and other activities build character and help embed values such as fairness and respect.

 

Who is a Lexden PE student? 

A PE student at Lexden is confident in the basic skills of physical co-ordination, throwing, catching, batting, running and movement. They have experienced and learnt how to play a wide variety of sports including the ability to evaluate performances and use tactics to improve performance. The Lexden PE student is flexible, fit, strong and agile and can apply a range of skills to a variety of games and activities. They understand and apply the principles of sportsmanship in both competitive and collaborative activities and know why exercise and activity is important to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. They understand the link between physical and mental health and aspire to live an active, healthy life.
