Physical Education

Our Vision

At Lime Tree we believe that health and physical activity is important in promoting lifelong values and health. Lime Tree does this by providing enjoyable opportunities for all its pupils to participate in curriculum PE and hosting a wide range of external active clubs. We value the benefit it brings to the children’s self-confidence and well-being.

Throughout the 2024-2025 academic year we will be focusing on the following key areas:

1. To develop and increase skillset and confidence to ensure all pupils receive high quality PE teaching.
2. To increase children’s engagement in sport and improve fitness levels
3. To participate in local sports fixtures where children can play at a competitive level

Physical Education at Lime Tree

At Lime Tree we deliver two hours of PE each week. These lessons will be taught through games/sport by Mr Feist and the class teacher. The key skills required will be taught then applied in the game. Sessions replicate the intensity of real games, with a focus on teamwork and improving key communication skills.

PE lessons follow the Get Set 4 PE approach which engages and challenges every child. It is fully aligned to the national curriculum. It focuses on development of agility, balance, coordination, healthy competition and cooperative learning through engaging sessions.

At Lime Tree we are committed to offer a range of active clubs to children both during and after school. Our curriculum includes access to a wide range of activities including: gymnastics, dance, athletics, team sports and swimming (from Year 3-6).

In this academic year, we are planning external visits to promote physical activities that are not ordinarily offered within the school curriculum. This will be offered to every child and will be timetabled into their day to allow this.
