Hillyfield Primary Academy

Intent

At Hillyfield, we follow the REAL PE scheme of work while adapting it to include sport specific skills. REAL PE is a unique,
child centred PE scheme which focuses on being inclusive, challenging and supportive of every child. REAL PE focuses on the
development of fundamental physical skills such as agility, balance and co-ordination. Children are given the opportunities to apply these progressive skills in engaging and fun activities. The scheme also focuses on developing the emotional, social and
cognitive skills by developing the ethos of healthy competition and co-operative learning. As a school we are committed to
develop every child’s physical and social development that will support them in their future.Through PE, children develop many non-physical skills such as creativity, resilience, perseverance,
communication and confidence that can be applied in. Now that REAL PE has been embedded across the school,
Teachers are adapting the scheme of work so that the skills children learn via REAL PE can be applied to a sporting context while learning key sporting skills and rules.
 

Implementation

The teaching and implementation of the Physical Education Curriculum at Hillyfield is taught by a combination of class teachers and PE specialists who
provide vital mentoring and support to both teachers and teaching assistants. Through REAL PE’s lesson structure
and differentiated activities, every child has opportunities to take part and be successful where effort, participation and development is supported. We teach the National Curriculum via REAL PE’s progression of skills. This ensures that skills and knowledge are built on year by year and sequenced appropriately to maximise learning for all children. 

At Hillyfield, the PE curriculum is structured to develop a range of physical and social skills that can be applied to a multitude of sporting contexts. We strive to ensure all children progress from their personal starting point by developing balance, co-ordination, agility and overall fitness. 

During KS2, children will have a series of structured swimming sessions to ensure that they are confident in the water.
 

Impact

By the end of year 6, as children prepare for life at secondary school, Hillyfield children will have:

• Developed an in-depth knowledge of a variety of sports, the rules associated with sports, the skills that can be implemented and
how they can be successful from their starting point.
• An understanding of the importance of physical health and its direct impact on well being.
• A passion for PE that enables them to demonstrate a good level of physical skills as well as possessing positive behaviours and social skills.
