At Ark Castledown, Physical Education (PE) forms an integral part of the curriculum and ensures children leave Ark Castledown Primary Academy with a profound enjoyment and enthusiasm for PE and sport that they can carry with them throughout their lives. Areas covered by our curriculum include but are not limited to; ball skills, gymnastics, dance, invasion games (football, netball, handball), striking and fielding games (rounders, cricket), net-and-ball sports (tennis, badminton), swimming, athletics and fitness training. Through these varied sports, children develop their core skills of agility, co-ordination, balance, fitness and teamwork. We are committed to supporting students to build a positive relationship with mental health and well-being, empowering them to make informed decisions that lead to longer, healthier lives.

Competition and individual performance also form part of our commitment to high expectations. We strive to provide a learning experience that will enable all students to achieve their full potential and ultimately develop a lifelong passion for sporting participation and physical well-being.

Our curriculum for PE aims to ensure that all students:

• develop competence to excel in a broad range of physical activities
• are physically active for sustained periods of time
• engage in competitive sports and activities
• lead healthy, active lives
