Primary PE Curriculum

Physical Education within Rashid School for Boys aims to introduce and develop a variety of experiences, skills and knowledge based through sport. Alongside physical development we aim to produce competent, confident independent learners who can understand the importance of a healthy, active lifestyle. Each student is given an equal opportunity to experience and excel through the departments 'Sport for all Policy'. Students are encouraged to make decisions and take on a leadership role, explore and enhance teamwork skills whilst developing their ability to be creative.

Lessons are inclusive and differentiated allowing every child to excel. We aim to develop the understanding of concepts and skills throughout sport. The main sports covered are, swimming, gymnastics, rugby, football, basketball, handball, tennis, badminton, volleyball, cricket, T ball, rounders and squash.

Every child has 1 swimming lesson and 1 sports lesson per week. In addition to this Year 1 – 6 have the option of choosing an after school every day of the week. These are aimed at developing school teams in competitive sports. Through the 'Sport for all Policy' every child is able to compete at his own level.

During foundation stages, lessons are based around physical development of gross motor skills, spatial awareness and hand eye coordination. Every child will start swimming from the 3rd semester of Foundation Stage 1.

In Key Stage 2 we formally introduce self assessment giving every child the opportunity to recognise the strengths and weaknesses of themselves and others, allowing them to have an understanding of how to improve.

At the end of each curriculum block, inter-house competitions are held allowing every child to apply their skills and understanding of the game and to compete against his peers and gain experiences of belonging to a team throughout their time at school.

Every child completes all of the sports below.
