Aims
Our students benefit from weekly lessons at the local trampoline park and Leisure centre.
-
To develop skilful use of the body, the ability to remember, repeat and refine actions and to perform them with increasing control, co-ordination and fluency.
-
To develop an increasing ability to select, link and apply skills, tactics and compositional ideas.
-
To improve observation skills and the ability to make simple judgement on their own and others work, and to use their observation and judgment to improve performance.
-
To develop and understanding of the effects of exercise on the body and on appreciation of the value of safe exercising.

Safe practise in Physical Education (2012 BAALPE)
-
Safety in Outdoor Education (LEA)
-
Safety aspects will be considered with the children prior to the task.
-
First aid equipment should be available (Medical Room) and staff should know what to do and who to call for assistance in the event of an accident (designated first aider).
-
Inhalers for children suffering from asthma must be readily accessible and brought to lessons.
-
Any items considered a danger should be taken out of use immediately.
-
In order to minimise these risks all staff and children in PE lessons are required to take note of the following:
-
All lessons are planned following a clear progression of developing skills and take into account the age, abilities and special needs of the class;
-
Children should be made aware, understand and follow all safety requirements related to the use of specific equipment, appropriate clothing and the following of instructions when in a lesson.
-
Children should be taught how to move and use apparatus safely under supervision of a teacher or responsible adult.
-
Children should understand the safety risks involved in wearing inappropriate clothing, footwear or jewellery.
-
Children should be made aware of safe practice when undertaking any PE activity (e.g. not running or jumping in front of others and stopping when asked)
-
Teaching staff should ensure expect high standards of behaviour, performance and participation in all lessons.
-
Teaching staff should follow the school’s behaviour plan at all times.
-
Teaching staff should ensure equipment is safe and in a good condition and suitable to the needs and abilities of the children.
-
Any faulty equipment should be reported to the management who will then repair or replace the faulty equipment.
-
Children should be made aware of the importance of dynamic stretching before physical activity and how to use the correct technique.
-
Static stretching is not necessary for children.
