PE & Sports

Oakridge Parochial Primary School believes that Physical Education, School Sport and Physical Activity (PESSPA), 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, as well as understanding how the body works and why we do the PE lessons we do. 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, both physical and mental, alongside the fitness of all children at Oakridge, not only through the sporting skills taught, but through the underpinning values and disciplines PE promotes. We intend to always bring the learning from PE lessons back in to the classroom and use it as an opportunity for cross-curricular learning, such as with active maths and geography lessons.
