Primary – Phases 1 & 2

Brook

PE in the Brook pathway will provide a means of regular opportunities to make sustained progression in terms of EHCP targets. Learning will be based around monitoring student engagement and interaction in regular structured activities in a safe and supportive learning environment. Opportunities are offered in each lesson for students to not only improve physical development but also to improve communication, cognition and social emotional skills.

PE in the Stream pathway will provide opportunities to improve physical development, cognition, social skills and communication linked to EHCP targets. Lessons will take place in a consistent familiar environment and will follow a structured routine. Lessons will be carefully sequenced and structured to maintain engagement in learning and provide a safe and comfortable environment.

In the River pathway students will work to develop their agility, balance and co-ordination skills. They will do this through carefully sequenced activities through the year covering locomotion skills, gymnastics, dance, ball skills, team building and swimming in phase 1. This will progress in phase 2 with the introduction to invasion / team games, net wall games, athletics and outdoor adventurous activities. Students will begin to participate in competitive sports activities in school and offsite as part of the LAT annual programme of fixtures and as part of participation in the Kent School Games.

In the Waterfall pathway students will work to develop and further enhance their agility, balance and co-ordination skills. They will do this through carefully sequenced activities through the year covering locomotion skills, gymnastics, dance, ball skills, team building and swimming in phase 1. This will progress in phase 2 with the introduction to invasion / team games, net wall games, athletics and outdoor adventurous activities. Students will begin to participate in competitive sports activities in school and offsite as part of the LAT annual programme of fixtures and as part of participation in the Kent School Games.

Students will work on weekly SMART targets, linked to ECHP development. These learning targets will be differentiated carefully for each student to provide lessons containing a realistic but challenging means to explore sport and physical activity at a level appropriate to the students learning needs. 

PE for the Brook Pathway will include:

  • Weekly Rebound Therapy lessons delivered by a trained practitioner.
  • Weekly Aqua Learn Hydrotherapy lessons delivered by a trained practitioner.
  • Weekly access to Soft Play
  • Physiotherapy programmes carried out by the class teams in affiliation with external agencies. 
  • Access to Complete PE foundation units (locomotion, ball skills, dance and gymnastics) where class teams can incorporate elements of the National Curriculum into daily practice and help to form physical targets. 

Students will work on weekly SMART targets, linked to ECHP development. These learning targets will be differentiated carefully for each student to provide lessons containing a realistic but challenging means to explore sport and physical activity at a level appropriate to their  learning needs. Students will be offered a means of agency and freedom to choose preferred activities and equipment to explore and interact with in order to improve communication by making requests.

Complete PE assessment provides a means of tracking PE progress data through each unit in order to monitor gaps in learning and to allow for interventions. It also details and tracks physical activity levels of groups and individual students so individual fitness plans can be put in place.

Lessons will be carefully sequenced and structured to maintain engagement in learning and provide a safe and comfortable learning space.

In the River pathway students will work to enhance basic movement skills and be introduced to improving tactics and strategies, teamwork, communication and begin to analyse performance. Students will gain more insight into the effects of exercise on the body and how it can positively impact a healthy lifestyle. Students will regularly participate in competitive sports activities in school and offsite as part of the LAT annual programme of fixtures and as part of participation in the Kent School Games.

In the Waterfall pathway students will further enhance basic movement related skills and begin to work productively in small groups to produce excellent performance related to lesson objectives. Students will look to improve tactics and strategies, teamwork, communication and begin to analyse performance. Students will be able to explain the effects of exercise on the body and how it can positively impact a healthy lifestyle. Students will regularly participate in competitive sports activities in school and offsite as part of the LAT annual programme of fixtures and as part of participation in the Kent School Games. Students will be offered responsibility to take on sports leadership roles at events and during other activities in the school.
