The aim of our Physical Education curriculum is to develop confident, healthy, active individuals, who are independent learners and responsible citizens across the whole school. We achieve this through the provision of inspiring and challenging experiences, where students value themselves and strive for excellence. We adopt a child centered approach to deliver PE lessons that challenges and supports every child across the school. This is achieved through the use of our Real PE, Real Gym and Real Dance schemes of work alongside orienteering, athletics and team games, which start from Key Stage 1 and progress through to the end of Key Stage 2. Real PE, Dance and Gym place the learner at the heart of our practice in how we teach PE, applying all of the high-quality learning and teaching skills which enables all children to make excellent progress.

The values behind the curriculum support pupils in developing their character, resilience, confidence and independence. This in turn leads them to live a healthy and active lifestyle, helping them to know how to keep physically and mentally healthy which prepares them for a life beyond school.

At West Croft we recognise the promotion of healthy competition and cooperative learning. We also provide further development opportunities for our children through our Sports Leader program and after school sports clubs. It is this collaboration which lies at the heart of West Croft for our pupils and enables them to realise their own personal legacy.
