Physical Education
We aim to encourage a lifetime love of sport and keeping fit to lead healthy, active lives. Our PE aspires to develop confidence, resilience, passion, respect and determination. It helps to improve their mental health and cognitive development as a result they will be more likely to concentrate and maintain focus in lessons. All children are given the opportunity to compete in sport and other demanding activities to build their character and talents (RRS article 29) in order to excel in a broad range of physical activities as well as help embed values such as respect and fairness. Not only does PE improve a child’s sporting skills but also it develops their communication, teamwork, leadership, creativity and problem-solving skills within a classroom setting as well as preparing them to be young global citizens.

EYFS INTENT
| We aim to lay a secure foundation for future learning. We engage pupils in learning from the very start and expect our children to leave us as happy, confident and skilful in P.E, who are curious about the world around them. By providing a high level of teaching at an early stage, pupils will develop creativity, as well as possessing the ability to think ciritically and independently. | |
At Henry Green Primary School we use Primary PE Passport as a planning, assessment and tracking tool for PE. The PE Passport is child centered and allows pupils’ achievements in and out of school to be recorded and tracked from Reception right through to Year 6.
PE Vision
Every child should be confident, enjoy and participate in a range of sports actively with increasing competitive aspects by the end of Year 6. In the future, the aim will be to provide some competitive team matches against other schools (RRS articles 3, 15, 28, 29, 30 & 31).
- Every child should be respected relative to our own natural abilities and stimulated to reach our full potential given our social, physical, mental and economic parameters (RRS article 29).
- Continue to discover new barriers to learning about our physical capabilities and challenge ourselves in a competitive but friendly environment where we all progress together (RRS articles 3 and 30).
- Our vision is for everyone to be confident, independent and motivated towards an enriched healthy lifestyle and to be actively participating in sport (RRS articles 15 and 31).
Healthy Opportunities
We have a wide range of opportunities for children to stay active here at Henry Green. At lunchtimes, they have a variety of energetic activities to choose from including: champ, table tennis, cricket, football with trained sport coaches and a range of athletics activities.
Some of our children took part in a Rugby Tournament
Every child at Henry Green looks forward to a school sports day and they wait all year with anticipation of which house will win the competition! Our last sports day organised by Mr Hughes was a huge success...

Let's have a look at healthy eating!
How your child eats today can have a huge impact on their health throughout adolescence and adulthood. Eating food containing important nutrients helps children grow, and is essential for children’s mental and physical development.
Swimming Standard
Swimming and water safety is a statutory element of the national curriculum for physical education (PE) programme of study.
The Goal set, following a review by the Curriculum Swimming and Water Safety Review Group 2017 is that:
By the end of Key Stage 2 every child has met the minimum standard of water safety knowledge and swimming ability as stated in the national curriculum for physical education programme of study.
All schools must provide swimming instruction either in key stage 1 or key stage 2. In particular, pupils should be taught to: swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres; use a range of strokes effectively; perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations.
At Henry Green Primary School, all pupils in Year 4 and 5 participate in a 10 week programme of swimming tuition at Becontree Leisure Centre in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham. Following this programme an assessment is made for each pupil against the criteria given above.
In 2018-2019, 55% of pupils reached the given standard.
