About this curriculum

Cockington Primary School believes that Physical Education (PE), experienced in a safe and supportive environment, is essential to ensure children attain optimum physical and emotional development and good health.

We intend to deliver high-quality teaching and learning opportunities that inspire all children to succeed in physical education and in developing life skills. We want to teach children skills to keep them safe: such as being able to swim.  We also want to teach children how to cooperate and collaborate with others as part of an effective team, understanding fairness and equity of play to embed life-long values.

Our curriculum aims to improve the wellbeing and fitness of all children at Cockington, not only through the sporting skills taught, but through the underpinning values and disciplines PE promotes.

Sequential Curriculum

PE strands with declarative and procedural knowledge that deepens and broadens progressively each year through sport and fitness:

  • Body management
  • Locomotor control
  • Object control
  • Health and fair play
  • Evaluating and improving performance

Some Year 6 ambassadors went to spread some Christmas magic and cheer at Beechmount House Residential Home today. We very warmly welcomed and were treated to some fantastic goodies. The children and residents made and decorated gingerbread men. They also made a huge paperchain to decorate their dining room. The children got a goodie bag each to take home, we were overwhelmed by the generosity of the team. We look forward to a return visit, and wish eveyone a merry Christmas!🎅

We enjoyed dressing and spots and bright coloured clothing today to help to raise money for Children in Need. The children completed a challenge set by the school council. The theme was '25'. The school council set each year group a challenge to complete 25 of an activity. Some classes managed this, some didn't because of the pouring rain outside! Nevertheless, everyone enjoyed raising money for a great cause!
