At Long Ditton Infant and Nursery school we follow a scheme called Get set 4 PE. This ensures progression of learning across the school.

Get set 4 PE offers a wide range of well thought out lesson plans that support us to deliver the PE curriculum.

We recognise the importance of Physical education to a child’s physical, social, emotional and mental health and wellbeing; we aim to engage all pupils in physical activity to promote development in all areas.

From Nursery through to year 2, children are taught to master basic movements including running, jumping, throwing, and catching. As well as developing balance, agility and coordination and begin to apply these in a range of activities. All children are also taught to participate in team games and perform dances using simple movements. Whether inside or outside, all activities offer appropriate physical challenge using a wide range of resources to support appropriately.

Through following our scheme Get set 4 PE and our broad range of sports clubs, activities are planned to build upon prior learning; opportunities are provided for all abilities to develop their skills, knowledge and understanding. There is planned progress throughout each unit which increases the challenge as children move up through the school.

Cross curricular links are made throughout lessons to various other subjects.

Literacy can be included through instructions, reporting or making recount of an activity or skill.

Science is included through learning about body parts, diet, keeping healthy and pulse rates.

Maths is incorporated through the use of shape, position and direction as well as counting and measuring.
