PE is an important element in the broad and balanced curriculum we provide at Belmont Community Primary School. Our children are given the opportunity to develop physical ability but also to develop social, emotional and thinking skills in a sporting context. Physical activity has an impact on mental well-being and our health and fitness in general we believe these are key personal aspects to support our children in. Our children are given the opportunity to take part in various sports and activities; for many, these are not something they would have access to outside of school, meaning we are giving them experiences they may not have the opportunity to have.

We want all our pupils to develop core movement, become increasingly competent, confident and resilient in order to access a broad range of opportunities to extend their agility, balance and coordination, individually and with others. They should be able to engage in competitive (both against self and against others) and co-operative physical activities, in a range of increasingly challenging situations to become confident and competent within the statutory requirements. Some children will develop their skills and ability to compete to then represent the school in a number of different sports. The children are introduced to a range of sports to hopefully engage them in physical activity outside of school as we believe there is a sport/activity for everyone

The school has joined forces with Inspire+, a local non-profit making organisation.  This allows us access to professional coaches and high quality sports events and competitions.  We are proud holders of a gold ‘School Games Mark’ a government-led awards scheme to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community.
