We are delighted to announce that we, Wolvey C of E Primary, have achieved the School Games GOLD LEVEL Mark Award for the 2023/24 academic year. The School Games Mark is a Government-led award scheme launched in 2012, facilitated by the Youth Sport Trust to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community, and we are delighted to have been recognised for our success.
With a total of 64 young people competing in local inter-school competitions this year, we are extremely proud of our pupils for their dedication to all aspects of school sport, including those young volunteers, leaders and officials who made our competitions possible.
As part of our application, we were asked to fulfil criteria in the areas of participation, competition, workforce and clubs, and we are pleased that the hard work of everyone at our school has been rewarded this year.
Physical Education at Wolvey C of E
Here at Wolvey C of E we understand that children should experience a breadth of experiences, inside and outside the classroom. PE & Sports are an integral part of every child’s education and development; this supports physical, social and mental wellbeing and provides them with transferable life skills for the future.
We are aware that during the recent lockdown, children did not have the opportunity to develop their skills of teamwork and key skills needed. We have therefore redesigned our curriculum which ensures children can quickly catch up on some of the skills they may have missed.
All children are expected to become increasingly reflective and able to evaluate their own and others performance in PE. At our school, we aim to be inclusive to all, and be flexible to meet the specific needs of different groups of learners. We aim to challenge all children appropriately through physical activity, and a long term plan. We strive to make PE accessible to all learners, by addressing barriers to learning and providing strategies for them to overcome and succeed in school.
At Wolvey, we aim to allow children to undertake different roles in PE, involving them in decision making to encourage productive thought and leadership. The National Curriculum programme of study states that schools should provide children with the opportunity to become physically confident, though a broad and balanced curriculum. At our school, we aim to not only challenge our pupils physically, but to also to develop critical thinkers & socially confident participants through our whole school progression of skills. We also aim for our learners to adopt a positive learning approach, particularly in physical activity where we acknowledge that some children may not feel they are ‘good at sport’.
At our school, we aim to promote personal challenge first and foremost by equipping our learners with the tools to have a healthy mind-set and the right attitudes to succeed. We also encourage all children including our most able to participate in inter and intra competitions to positively challenge their physical abilities.
Sports Leaders:
These children have applied and been successful in this position. They support our PE teachers in school by setting up lessons and ensuring all equipment is safe. They also run inter-school competitions as well as our sports day in the summer.
