Whether you are a keen sports person or someone who enjoys being physical, at Cumberland our PE curriculum delivers a holistic, child-centred approach to learning the fundamental movement skills needed to develop physical literacy.  

Through a well-sequenced approach, using the real PE framework we work to develop the whole child across the key areas of agility, balance and coordination, essential skills that are needed to succeed in all sports. 

Through our Ethos ‘Together we Care, Inspire and Succeed,’ we learn about caring for our bodies through learning the importance of physical activity to keep us healthy and the effect it has on our bodies. Children are inspired to achieve their full potential through progressive challenges aimed at mastering the fundamental movement skills as well as learning behaviours that are a part of becoming physically literate. They experience what it is like to succeed at both the physical and non-physical aspects of PE. 

We support the mastery of these skills, by providing opportunities for the children to apply their learning in other areas of PE including gymnastics, dance, hockey and athletics. Our active Headteacher, teaches the children hockey and athletics in Key Stage One, starting in Year One and building on this learning in Year Two.  

Our annual Sports Week is always a hit with the children and adults! It provides opportunities for children to experience different types of physical activity from specialist coaches that they may not experience outside of school, applying their learning from PE. For example, we have offered cricket and football coaching, tri-golf, dance and Year Two experience swimming in the summer term.
