Essential Characteristics of Physically Active Pupils

At Rednal Hill Infant School, we believe that Physical Education is vital to children’s health and wellbeing, allowing them to live active lives. Our curriculum uses the PE Hub, which allows children to experience a variety of physical activities. The PE Hub structure follows a structured progression, underpinned by the belief that every child can succeed.

At our school, we strive for children to acquire new knowledge and skills as they move through each unit of work. Children will have chances to apply their skills independently and as part of a team. Throughout lessons, children will evaluate their own skills and others' performance.

From EYFS through to Year 2, pupils receive 2 hours of high-quality teaching each week. Pupils are also offered extracurricular activities with a Sports Coach, including Multi Skills and Football Club.

Progress is assessed through pupil book studies, teacher observation and children demonstrating an improvement of skills and vocabulary throughout each unit. Children enjoy demonstrating the skills that they have learnt, modelling techniques and showing what they have learnt.
