PE
Physical Education, School Sport & Physical Activity at Giffard Park Primary School
Here at Giffard Park Primary School, we believe that physical education, school sport and physical activity (PESSPA) not only contributes to the physical aspects of a healthy lifestyle, but also enhances health and mental wellbeing. We deliver a high-quality physical education curriculum, inspiring all pupils to succeed and excel in competitive and non-competitive sport as well as other physically-demanding activities. Through the use of PESSPA, we look to provide opportunities for pupils to become physically confident in a way which supports their health and fitness. We use this as an opportunity to encourage values such as fairness, solidarity and respect. Our children are encouraged to engage in sports and exercise outside of the school timetable and to engage in choices that promote healthy lifestyles.
PE at Giffard Park Primary School are taught by our talented Premier coaches who teach these lessons following Primary PE Planning (PPP). This scheme builds on prior knowledge whilst introducing new key skills as well as new vocabulary. Our sports coaches assess half-termly looking at how the children have embedded the relevant skills and understanding to meet the attainment targets.
Sports Teams at Giffard Park Primary School
We are lucky to have such amazing athletes that allow us to participate in a range of different sports such as: football, dodgeball, athletics, cross country, basketball as well as many more. We like to reward the hard work and determination of our pupils, who display co-operation and wear our badge with pride whenever representing our school in sports. We run a variety of extracurricular activities offering our children more opportunities to remain active and engage with others by developing friendships, social skills and understanding of sports.
Specialist Sports Coaches from Premier Education deliver our PESSPA both within the curriculum and through extra-curricular clubs.
Skip2BFit Skipping Workshops
In autumn 2 we were lucky enough to be visited by a Skip2Bfit instructor who taught workshops to all children across the school. Everyone loved taking on the 2 minute skipping challenge and they perservered to beat their scores at the end of the sessions Take alook at some of our Year 1 and 2 children in action.
Well done to our fantastic Cross Country squad who took part in the MK schools competition on Friday 7th November at the Bowl MK. Despite the mud and the hills, they tried their absolute hardest, encouraged and cheered on their team mates and persevered even when it felt tough. We are so incredibly proud of them all.
