Physical Education (PE)

Curriculum

 At Manor Primary School we aim to provide a high-quality Physical Education (PE) curriculum that inspires all our pupils to lead active, healthy lifestyles. We believe that PE is an essential part of our curriculum, which supports the physical, emotional, and social development of our pupils. Our goal is for all children to master fundamental movement skills, develop sport-specific techniques, and gain the knowledge they need to succeed and excel in a wide range of physical activities. Equally important, we aim to nurture positive attitudes towards physical activity and competition, helping pupils build confidence, resilience, and a sense of responsibility for their own health and wellbeing.

Pupils in Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 enjoy two hours of high-quality PE lessons each week, taught by both class teachers and our specialist sports coach. Through regular assessment and encouragement, we identify each child’s strengths and areas for improvement, offering additional challenges and opportunities for those with particular talents through lunchtime and after-school clubs. Our teachers focus not only on skills but also on physical literacy, promoting confidence, teamwork, and a growth mindset during lessons. Feedback is an important part of our approach, enabling children to understand their progress and celebrate their achievements.

At Manor Primary, we are committed to making PE a positive and inclusive experience for all pupils. We ensure that every child is actively engaged, supported to reach their full potential, and inspired to develop a lifelong love of sport and physical activity.

School Games: Gold Award

We are thrilled to announce that Manor Primary School has been awarded the prestigious Gold School Games Mark for the second year running! This recognition highlights our dedication to providing an inclusive and engaging PE and school sports programme that prioritises physical activity and student wellbeing.

We are particularly proud of the level of physical activity all pupils engage in, our participation in the Active Travel initiative, the diverse range of free extra-curricular clubs available, our targeted support for less active pupils, participation in many competitions, and our commitment to providing professional development opportunities for staff.

Primary PE and Sports Premium 

The PE and Sport Premium is government funding provided to primary schools in England to improve the quality of physical education, sport, and physical activity for all children. It helps schools enhance their PE lessons, offer a wider range of sports, and encourage healthy, active lifestyles. Please see the below report for how we used our funding in the last academic year.

Sports Competitions (2024-2025)

We are incredibly proud to share the fantastic achievements of our pupils across a variety of sports this season. Not only have our teams delivered impressive results, from becoming Black Country School Games champions in netball to winning the Walsall district football championship, but they have also consistently demonstrated outstanding behaviour, a positive attitude, and exceptional teamwork both on and off the field. These qualities truly embody the spirit of Manor Primary School and set a shining example for all. Here is a closer look at their remarkable performances across netball, football, cricket, tag rugby, and athletics competitions.
