“Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.”Nelson Mandela

At Handale Primary School, we believe that Physical Education is essential for developing healthy, confident and resilient children. Our PE curriculum provides all pupils with the opportunity to enjoy being active, challenge themselves, and experience the joy of movement in a safe and supportive environment.

Through a broad and balanced programme, pupils learn a wide range of physical skills, from gymnastics and dance to invasion games, athletics and outdoor activities. We follow a carefully planned curriculum that promotes progression, teamwork and personal achievement, helping every child to reach their potential.

At the heart of our approach is the belief that PE should be inclusive, engaging and fun. Lessons encourage pupils to develop not only their physical abilities but also important life skills such as cooperation, perseverance and fair play. Children are supported to build confidence, celebrate effort, and recognise the importance of leading an active lifestyle.

We also provide opportunities for pupils to take part in intra- and inter-school competitions, sports festivals and enrichment activities that inspire a love of sport and healthy competition.

Our PE curriculum is fully aligned with the National Curriculum and supported by specialist coaches and staff who model enthusiasm, respect and teamwork. At Handale, we aim to instil a lifelong love of physical activity and wellbeing, empowering our pupils to stay active, healthy and happy for life.
