PE and Sport at Reculver
The Physical Education Curriculum at Reculver Church of England Primary School inspires and engages pupils. We believe that, through sport, children are able to develop not only key skills in various sporting disciplines but also a strong set of life skills, principles and values. To support the children in this, we teach a rich and varied curriculum, which enables pupils to develop their resilience, teamwork, tactical and technical skills in order to achieve across the curriculum. Our aim is to ensure that children leave Reculver with an enthusiastic attitude towards physical activity and sport, in the hope that many feel confident enough to join clubs or groups beyond the classroom.
Alongside our broad and engaging curriculum, we also offer a wide range of extra-curricular clubs, led by experienced staff and coaches, including those from Inclusive Sport (External PE Partner). These clubs provide children with an opportunity to pursue their interests beyond timetabled lessons, supporting our long-term aim of introducing sports to children to enjoy outside of school. Our school community is acutely aware of the benefits of Physical Education on mental health, understanding it is our responsibility to give our pupils a platform to enjoy sports.
Furthermore, as part of the Herne Bay & East Kent Coastal Sports Partnership, children are given the opportunity to take part in competitive fixtures in sports such as: Netball, Football, Cricket, Dance, Hockey, Athletics and more. Our links within this partnership, provides staff with support and CPD in the teaching and assessing of pupils, leading to a positive Physical Education experience for our pupils. We also appreciate it is our responsibility to extend our practise further and have also fostered positive links with smaller schools within the area, to provide opportunities for not just our own pupils, but also those whose geographical location or cohort dictate fewer sporting chances.
