Curriculum

Physical Education at Scunthorpe Church of England Primary

Rationale

At Scunthorpe Church of England Primary School, we believe that physical education develops a child’s knowledge, skills and development. It involves the child in the continuous process of decision making, selecting and applying skills, performing, evaluating and refining work. It contributes to the overall education of the child by the encouraging and helping them lead full and valuable lives through engaging in purposeful physical activity. Scunthorpe Church of England Primary School aims to deliver purposeful and regular lessons that meet the needs, abilities and interests of all individual children. We are dedicated at providing a curriculum which promotes high levels of engagement and enjoyment.
