Physical Education
Subject Leader: Mrs Lambert
I love the many benefits of being active and physical for both my mind and my health.
I enjoy watching lots of different sports and the possibilities for building cooperation, competitiveness and friendships through sport.
I run Parkrun weekly with my family and have run over 200 runs in 25 different locations around the UK! I have run in different road races in the past and will be taking part in my 2nd half marathon later this year!

At Penwortham Primary School, our Physical Education curriculum provides a better understanding of how to lead an active, healthy lifestyle, demonstrate both respect and resilience, all of which can be applied within other areas of school life and beyond their time in our school.
At Penwortham Primary School we aim to enable our pupils to achieve excellence in Physical Education and Sport as follows:
Aspire - Encourage an Aspirational Future: Physical health and wellbeing is vitally important and supports learning across the curriculum by promoting concentration and focus. We encourage children to constantly and consistently develop their own individual PE skills, setting personal goals within their progress. We access inspiring and leading athletes throughout the year who help us to instill ambitious attitudes towards future successes.
Belong - Foster Belonging and Collaborative work: We provide many opportunities for children to access competitive and collaborative sport, through half –termly house competitions, after school clubs, and community links with South Ribble Borough Council primary schools and Priory Academy. Pupils also gain skills and values such as communication, co-operation and leadership in lessons and through our young leaders ambassador opportunities.
Care - Create Caring and Sustainability Awareness: We foster resilience and a growth mindset, encouraging learners to embrace challenges and view physical difficulties as opportunities to develop further. We encourage a high level of participation in all aspects of PE, providing our pupils with essential tools to manage and cope with difficulties in their everyday life.
Discover - Discover and Develop Practical Skills: By providing a rich and broad range of activities we develop the enjoyment of physical activity with the aim that all pupils will find a sport or activity that engages them and encourages a lifelong interest in physical activity or sport.
Excellence - Integrate Excellence Across Subjects: We provide opportunities for all pupils to have experienced and gained skills in a wide range of activity and sports including being able to swim at least 25 metres.
