Physical Education

Botwell House Catholic Primary School believes that physical education, experienced in a safe and supportive environment, is a unique and vital contributor to a child’s physical literacy and well-being. A broad and balanced Physical Education Curriculum is intended to provide for children’s increasing self-confidence in their ability to manage themselves and their bodies within a variety of movement situations. Progressive learning objectives, combined with sympathetic and varied teaching approaches, endeavour to provide stimulating, enjoyable, satisfying and appropriately challenging learning experiences for all children. Through the selection of suitably differentiated and logically developed tasks, it is intended that children, irrespective of their innate ability, will enjoy success, and be motivated to further develop their individual potential.
