Intent

At Little Leigh Primary School, we believe Physical Education is essential in helping children stay healthy, confident, and active. Our intent is to inspire all pupils to develop a lifelong love of sport, promoting teamwork, resilience, and wellbeing. Through a broad and inclusive curriculum, we aim to equip every child with the knowledge, skills, and motivation to lead active, healthy lives.

Implementation

Our PE curriculum follows the PE Hub scheme, ensuring progression and challenge in line with the National Curriculum. All pupils take part in two hours of PE each week, taught by class teachers, HLTAs, or our specialist PE coach. We work closely with Mr Finney from Weaverham High School and Mr Coleclough, who supports PE across the Create Learning Trust, enhancing staff expertise and lesson quality. Pupils in Year 4 take part in swimming lessons, with catch-up sessions offered where needed. We also offer a wide range of after-school clubs, and regularly compete in festivals and tournaments through the Vale Royal School Sports Partnership and Create Learning Trust events.

Impact

Our pupils leave Little Leigh with the confidence, skills, and enthusiasm to enjoy sport and physical activity throughout their lives. They show positive attitudes towards teamwork, fairness, and perseverance, and understand the value of leading a healthy lifestyle. We are proud to have maintained our Platinum School Sports Award, recognising our commitment to high-quality PE and sporting opportunities. Through expert partnerships and a strong curriculum, we continue to provide outstanding physical education that inspires every child to achieve their best.
