By placing PE and sport are part of a broad and balanced curriculum we provide for our pupils. Our PE and sport aspires to build self-esteem, teamwork and leadership skills enabling each child to be the best they can be by:

• Improving health and well-being for all children
• Providing high quality opportunities and outcomes
• Encouraging community involvement
• Promoting lifelong learning, active participation and competition
• Raising achievement and supporting excellence

Curriculum

The PE Curriculum at Wyke encompasses a wide range of traditional and more modern sports and leisure pursuits. Progression within each sport is mapped throughout the school. Each set of lessons are skills based and build up to either a competition or a display of the skills gained e.g. dance, gymnastics. They should always involve rigorous exercise and contribute to a healthy lifestyle.

Using the Youth Sport Trust document ‘Becoming Outstanding’ and utilising the support of Active Surrey, the school remains focused on developing specific areas which include:

• Increasing teacher confidence in specialist PE provision through planning support and (where needed) bespoke CPD
• To ensure that the PE Curriculum evolves with the staff skills and expertise; is varied and delivered to a high standard, focusing on skills and rigorous activity
• Encouraging inactive children to engage in an active lifestyle through encouragement, a varied curriculum and additional targeted provision.
