PE
Oaklands focus – to know and understand how to use your body in order to keep fit, heathy, play and socialise.
PE is taught twice a week. Once by our specialist PE teacher during teachers PPA, and once by the class teacher. We use the PE hub scheme of work and we are supported by Featherstone Sports Partnership. Mr Townson, our PE lead, assesses each child at the end of each unit against the skills progression in the PE Hub scheme. In addition to PE hub lessons children in Year 4 go swimming. As the pandemic prevented swimming lessons for 2 years additional swimming lessons were arranged for Year 4 and 5 last year to try and compensate.
In addition to the PE curriculum we also promote a wide number of opportunities for children to attend competitions in school time and have 9 different free sports clubs each term for children to join after school. Children who have suffered during the pandemic and have not developed their skills or love of sport are personally invited for small group sessions after school with the PE specialist teacher in order to build their confidence in lessons.
Our PE specialist also works alongside teachers to support their delivery of PE.
