Some outstanding examples of learning outcomes being achieved at Old Clee

Here is an Example of our progression of skills embedded within our PE Curriculum

Successes of 2020/21

•  Despite the challenges that arose due to the pandemic, the children at Old Clee were all able to access high level PE lessons and challenges through our online learning Portal. PE specialist Mr Broughton provided daily videos for all children to access their PE as well as maintaining physical fitness whilst being at home.

• We have recently had a fantastic all weather GYM installed in the playground. The gym will help to increase physical fitness as well as helping to increase range of movement and flexibility. This is accessible for children to use during break times and lunchtimes as well as providing an extra resource to be used for PE lessons in bad weather. This has maximised the time our children have to be active, they have loved it!

Priorities for 2021/22

• Implement weekly inter house competitions when possible to encourage children to apply the skills learnt in PE lessons.  This will also help the children to learn and demonstrate aspects of our SUPERB citizen model used within school in a competitive sporting context.

• Monitor and develop effective teaching of PE across the whole school. PE Specialist to observe and provide CPD where necessary to continue to improve the high standard of PE teaching across the whole school.
