Our Intent
At Lacock we strive to create a culture which aims to inspire an active generation to enjoy PE, encourage each other and achieve. We provide a safe and supportive environment for children to flourish in a range of different physical activities which is essential in supporting their physical, emotional, spiritual, social and moral development. We offer a dynamic, varied and stimulating program of activity to ensure that all children progress physically through an inspirational and fully inclusive PE curriculum. We encourage all children to develop their understanding of the way in which they can use their body, equipment and apparatus safely yet imaginatively to achieve their personal goals.
All children have the opportunity to enjoy being physically active, maintain a healthy lifestyle and use the medium of sport, to increase their self-esteem. We aspire for children to adopt a positive mind-set and believe that anything can be achieved with determination and resilience.
The aim of Physical Education is to promote physical activity and healthy lifestyles. Children are taught to observe and produce the conventions of fair play, honest competition and good sporting behaviour as individual participants, team members and spectators. Thus embedding life-long values such as responsibility, respect and courage.
We provide opportunities for children to learn how to stay safe by providing swimming lessons in Key Stage 2 and continuing until children have become confident in the water, knowing how to keep safe whilst also meeting the National Curriculum requirements of swimming 25m by the end of Year 6.
Our PE Curriculum, along with PSHE and science, teaches children about the importance of healthy living and learning about the need for good nutrition. At Lacock, we aim for children to develop the necessary knowledge and skills which will have a positive impact on their future by becoming physically active citizens to benefit their long-term health and well-being.
Implementation
Children participate in high-quality PE lessons twice a week. For one lesson a week (one hour) our teachers follow ‘Real PE', a scheme of work by Create Development which encourages a broad, balanced, child-centred approach to PE and Sport. 'Real PE' praises behaviour not skill, passing the responsibility of the lesson to the learner. For the 2nd PE lesson in the week the children are taught using the Real Gym or Real Dance sections of Real PE or from Specialist coaches delivering rugby or cricket sessions.
We provide children with opportunities to participate in a range extra-curricular activities.
Our partnership with Chippenham Partnership ensures that pupils can participate in traditional sports including football, tag rugby, hockey, athletics, mini tennis, cricket and netball as well as others such as basketball, dodgeball and cross-country.
Our partnership with Bath Rugby enables pupils to be coached by professional rugby coaches as well as attending a live Bath Rugby match and holiday camps delivered by NextGen coaches. The children also have the opportunity to watch the Bath rugby first team train and meet them players.
We have good links with a range of local sporting organisations such as Wiltshire Cricket. We believe it is important to offer a wide range of sporting opportunities to cater for the range of interests of our pupils and increase levels of engagement.
In Key Stage 2, children develop their swimming and water safety skills through a block of swimming lessons at The Olympiad Sports Centre. These lessons are planned and taught by trained swimming instructors who provide targets for each of the ability groups. For pupils who have not learnt to swim, there is a further opportunity to swim throughout Year 5 and 6 until the pupil is confidently able to swim a distance of 25 metres. Throughout Key Stage 2, outdoor adventurous activity (OAA) opportunities are provided through residential trips.
We are extremely lucky to have the use of wide-open spaces within our beautiful village that we take full advantage of as much as possible, within PE lessons but also for walks and outdoor education.
Impact
A high percentage of our pupils are physically active and this has positive implications on their learning in the classroom. Children understand how to lead a healthy and active lifestyle and understand the importance of exercise.
Pupils display positive attitudes towards PE; many put themselves forward to take part in inter-school competitions, clubs or to become a sports leader.
Our pupils make good progress in their physical development whilst developing important values and learning behaviours such as resilience, collaboration and respect.

Our Primary School Sport’s Funding is enabling us to continue and extend our provision through employing additional sports professionals to jointly deliver the schools PE lessons, providing staff with training in order to deliver high quality PE lessons and entering into more competitive sports competitions within our local cluster of school. This is vitally important for our small school.
The government has provided additional funding of £150 million per annum for the last 7 academic years, starting in 2013/14 to improve provision of Physical Education and sport in primary schools.
This funding – provided jointly by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport – has been allocated to primary school Headteachers who have the freedom to choose how they spend the money. The funding is ring-fenced and therefore can only be spent on improving the provision of PE and sport in schools. Ofsted will strengthen the coverage of PE and sport within the ‘Inspectors’ handbook’ so that schools and inspectors know how sport and PE will be assessed in future as part of the school’s overall provision.
Sports Relief 2020
Our children had great fun participating in Sports Relief. We split children across the school into mixed aged groups and played a game of kick ball - a mixture between dodge ball, football and rounders. All the children worked so well together and their defending skills certainly improved.
