At Low Furness we promote a love of sport and enjoyment of physical activity. We aim to build both confidence and competency through a progressive curriculum.
Our curriculum caters for the needs of our individual children in our unique environment; we make full use of our extensive school grounds and the wider area. Every child in school takes part in an outdoor adventure day in the Lake District each year. In addition, our children have the opportunity to go on a three day/ two night residential where they take part in adventurous outdoor activities in a safe, supported environment at least once during their time in Key Stage 2.
At Low Furness, we work alongside Onside Sports to deliver quality PE sessions. Teachers then build on the work done by Onside Sports to allow for a real progression of skills. Children are assessed at the end of each term.
In EYFS & KS1, children are taught the fundamentals of PE which includes a physical, social and cognitive approach to learning. We make use of sports coaches throughout the year and take part in all opportunities where children are developing and representing Low Furness away from the school grounds.
In KS2, children are taught how to use their skills in a safe and competitive way. An ethos of fair play and sportsmanship is recognised throughout the Key Stage. High expectations of behaviour are expected in PE sessions just like in other areas of the school. These values are also focussed upon when taking part in competitions and festivals where we expect behaviour to be outstanding too. Every child in KS2 is given a chance to take part in competitions.
Our school vision of ‘Love your neighbour as yourself’ is a key component in our PE curriculum and it is incorporated in a variety of different ways:
As we are located on the Furness Peninsula and are in close proximity to the Lake District the children’s water confidence and swimming ability is particularly important to us. To ensure the children have the skills required to stay safe in and around water they all take part in swimming lessons in every year of their time at Low Furness regardless of ability. Reception and Key Stage 1 children have 10 x 30-minute swimming lessons each year and this is increased to 10 x 60-minutes sessions per year in Key Stage 2.
