PE at Pitmaston aims to motivate all pupils to foster a lifelong love of physical activity, whilst promoting the fundamental connection between physical and mental health. We offer a dynamic, progressive, stimulating and fully inclusive curriculum that inspires all pupils to lead a healthy, active lifestyle, and enables all children to flourish in a range of sports and physical activities. Respectable sporting behaviour, resilience and fair and honest competition will be consistently demonstrated, taught and encouraged, as individual sports people, team members and spectators. We strive to provide children with the opportunity to be physically active for 60 minutes a day through initiatives such as Pitmaston’s daily mile, active playtimes (dance zone, playground games and playground equipment) and after school clubs, in addition to our timetabled PE sessions. We are aware of the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on our children’s learning, specifically their mental health and opportunities to engage with physical activity. Whilst Physical Educational activities and lessons continued to be provided during the national lockdowns and as part of our Remote Learning offer, we continue to support our children back to a healthy lifestyle and have planned lessons that enable pupils to catch up on any learning lost as a result of the pandemic
