Curriculum

At Crosby, our PE curriculum follows the scheme Getset4PE.

Intent

At Crosby we believe our children need to experience a range of sporting activities and knowledge on how to lead a healthy and active life, with opportunities to succeed in competitive sport that helps embed the values of fairness and respect.

Core Learning

  • Our wide range of PE lessons cover:

    • Development of specific physical abilities
    • Knowledge and competence in competitive sports
    • Being healthy and active
    • Values of fairness and respect within competitive sports

We ask our children to come to school in their PE kit on the days that they have PE.

Our PE kit is:

  • a plain white t-shirt
  • plain black shorts/leggings/tracksuit bottoms
  • PE shoes (pumps or trainers)
  • Crosby jumper or cardigan
Long hair must be tied back every day but especially PE days, all earrings must be removed or covered with a plaster at home before your child comes to school.

In Year 4, the children take part in swimming lessons every Tuesday at The Pods (children in different classes go at different times in the year). Children should come in their normal school uniform and will need to bring in their own swimming bag when their class is swimming. In the Spring term Y2 children will be going swimming for 8 weeks on a Thursday.

This should include:

  • a clean towel
  • swim shorts/costume or burkini (no loose clothing).

Our children love PE, why not have a look at what they are learning in PE and ask them what skills they have learnt? If your child is in Year 4 or 2, have a look at when in the year they will be swimming. Swimming will be in addition to their normal school PE lessons.
