The main aim of Belmont’s Physical Education Curriculum is to promote a positive and enjoyable experience to physical activity and healthy lifestyles. Through careful planning and teaching of suitably differentiated physical tasks, it is intended that pupils, irrespective of their ability, will enjoy success and be motivated to develop their individual potential. Belmont is proud to be an active school that provides an inclusive P.E. curriculum as well as a extra-curricular activities. We offer a range of sports for the children to participate in, these help children to understand the importance of an active lifestyle (and associated health benefits) and increase their participation in sport and exercise. Our children develop a range of physical skills as well as learn traditional team sports such as basketball and dodge-ball.
Almost all of our children (and staff) walk, cycle or scooter to school each day and we are committed to walking as much as possible – for example, we utilise the great resource of Lordship Rec for class activities and we always walk to the tube or bus stops to get further out and about.
What is the Sports premium?
The PE and sport premium is funding provided by the Government to help primary schools improve the quality of PE and sport activities they offer.
Schools receive PE and sport premium funding based on the number of pupils in years 1 to 6.
Schools must use the funding to make sustainable improvements to the quality of PE and sport they offer. Schools cannot use it for teachers’ planning and preparation time nor must we use it to teach the minimum requirements of the National Curriculum.
To make these improvements sustainable, we invest in:
equipment that can be used now and into the future
children's engagement with sport for fun and in competition
teacher continuing professional development to improve the teaching of PE
