PE & School Sports

“Intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong.”

- John F. Kennedy

Intent

At Bedgrove Junior School we provide a high quality PE and school sports curriculum, led by specialist sports coaches - all of whom are employed by the school. We want to inspire all children to consider physical activity as part of their everyday life, achieving their personal best, regardless of ability. We teach children about healthy lifestyles, good food choice and the benefits of being active through our PE and Healthy Minds curriculum. We provide an environment to support children to succeed in being confident to engage in physical activity, with embedded values such as fairness and respect, helping to develop future athletes and good citizens who lead healthy lives. We engage in a range of competitive and non-competitive sporting fixtures to give a range of pupils opportunity to represent the school. We challenge all of our children to be active for sustained periods and to develop their knowledge and skills across a broad range of sports and activities.

If you have any great ideas, or come across any websites that you would recommend, email us on pe@bjsglt.co.uk so that we can add them to the list and share ideas.

Useful Website Links:

60 second challenges from Davies to keep you moving at home. Technique is important with these challenges. To avoid injury, children should perform press ups on their knees and avoid lunges, unless accompanied by an adult with knowledge of correct technique.

Premier Education's site includes skill training videos for basketball, tennis and dance. Technique is important here, always find a clear space for gymnastic skills such as cartwheels and forward rolls, only perform these if there is an adult present with knowledge of correct technique.
