PE
At Bishop Pursglove School, we consider sport and physical education to be integral for each child’s health and wellbeing. We follow the EYFS Statutory Framework 2021 and the National Curriculum which identifies and groups subject objectives for KS1 and KS2.
We aim to develop a balanced curriculum offering a variety of activities to enhance skills in physical education. We expect pupils to have a positive outlook towards their PE lessons and strive to perform to the best of their abilities all the time. Active participation in physical education will enable children to increase self-esteem, independence and team work.
We aim to:
- Develop confidence, skills and knowledge.
- Pursue excellence.
- Be proud of achievements.
- Promote fair play, sportsmanship and respect.
- Encourage healthy, active lifestyles.
- Provide an extensive extra-curricular programme.
- Develop club links that enable pupils to pursue their sports out of school.
The children are taught the PE curriculum by professional sports coaches and instructors and skilled teachers. This ensures that the children develop the necessary skills to take part in a variety of sports alongside communicating, collaborating and competing with each other.
Children from Year 4 spend a term attending swimming lessons at our local swimming pool (Bakewell) where they learn how to swim alongside essential water safety skills.
At Bishop Pursglove School all children have the regular opportunity to learn and compete across a wide variety of sports with other local primary schools. We are part of the Lady Manners Cluster Partnership and have a full calendar of festivals and competitions which every member of the school can participate in.
Children always conducted themselves in a professional manner and had great fun taking part in all of the activities and representing their school.

Spiritual development
Through teaching PE, pupils develop their knowledge and understanding of the body’s performance when exercising; this leaves pupils amazed at the body’s ability. This is also linked to the Christian value ‘perseverance’, as pupils have to show perseverance when exploring the body’s capabilities. Through Dance and sports such as Gymnastics pupils are being creative, expressing feelings and emotions in their performances. Allowing pupils’ reflection time to evaluate their experiences allows them to build a positive mindset and promotes progression. Pupils will also see a sense of awe and wonder when observing elite performance from professional athletes and their peers.
Moral development
Living a healthy lifestyle and promoting healthy living is apparent in each PE lesson at Bishop Pursglove. Pupils develop the ability to tell between right and wrong through fair play in sporting events and participating in competitive situations, giving pupils a sense of justice, and how to respond appropriately when they feel there is an injustice. The frequent opportunity given to pupils to umpire and referee supports the importance of abiding by rules. Pupils are challenged to consider ethical and moral issues by discussing the use of enhancement drugs in sport and how fair or unfair this may be.

Compassion and respect for other culture and traditions is also displayed by all when exploring unfamiliar games or dances.
