Here at Signhills Infant Academy we understand the importance of Physical Education for all pupils. Our curriculum is inclusive and allows all pupils to access a range of physical activities. We ensure all pupils are willing to practice and take part in different activities and situations, alone, in small groups and in teams, applying skills to achieve high levels of performance. Physical Education at Signhills Infants will develop pupil’s sporting knowledge and allows them to learn about themselves, the importance of healthy lifestyles, self-expression, decision making, social skill and water safety. We encourage pupils to be active throughout a P.E lesson and encourage creativity and imagination in their techniques, tactics and chorography. Our pupils will know how to collaborate and cooperate as part of an effective team, understanding fairness and equality of play to embed life-long values.

We currently follow a progressive scheme of work written by Complete PE.

The Curriculum for P.E. aims to ensure our pupils:

- Have fun and experience a wide range of sports.

- Develop and build a range of different skills.

- Develop a good sporting attitude.

- Understand basic rules.

- Have the chance to experience competition in a positive way.

- Learn to play as part of a team.

- Develop the foundation for a healthy lifestyle.

We want to develop the foundations for a lifelong love of physical activity through quality teaching that is engaging and fun. We aim to expose our pupils to many different forms of physical activity in the hope they will all find something that they enjoy. From our lessons, our children will learn to take responsibility for their own health and fitness. We offer afterschool clubs and host visitors throughout the year with the aim to encourage children to take this into their life outside of school by joining external clubs and teams. We equip our children with sporting skills and a love for physical activity. They will hopefully grow up to live happy and healthy lives using the skills and knowledge they have acquired from their experiences at Signhills Infants.
