Whole School Curriculum Overview Physical Education (PE)

As a school we place great value on physical activity. 

Throughout the curriculum our children cover six elements of the PE curriculum. These comprise: gymnastics, dance, games, swimming, athletics and outdoor adventurous activities. 

Year 2 children have their swimming lessons taught by swimming instructors at Windsor Leisure Centre in Term 5 and 6 each year. A wide variety of extra-curricular clubs also run such as Netball, Football, and multi-sports and Yoga. Our Year 5/6 children undertake outdoor adventurous activities off-site at the Osmington Bay PGL Activities Centre near Dorset. 

We are a member of Ascot and Maidenhead School Sport Partnership, therefore every year children in Red Kites, Year 4/5 take part in Dance Festival organised by AMSP. 

We have school teams who compete in local leagues and specialist coaches who work with our children and staff to ensure physical education is of the highest standard. 

The school has an Adventure Playground which provides a range of outdoor activities within PE lessons and at break and lunch times. Sports Day is held in Term 6 each year and this provides the opportunity for children to compete in their House Groups. 

Through all our activities we endeavour to nurture positive attitudes to health and fitness as well as to develop a Growth Mindset and self-esteem, confidence and interpersonal skills.
