Mount Pleasant Primary School

Physical Education

Curriculum Lead - Mrs L Smith

At Mount Pleasant we aim to inspire all children to be active by providing a positive and motivating experience during PE lessons. Our curriculum is broad and teaches new skills as well as developing existing skills.  

We encourage children to be physically confident and teach them about health, well being and the importance of fitness. In doing so, children will be motivated and equipped with the tools to continue with lifelong activity when they leave Mount Pleasant. They will understand the importance of physical activity for both body and mind.  

Many of our school values, including pride, honesty, relationships and resilience are embedded throughout our delivery of PE.  

We celebrate the successes and talents of children in their sporting pursuits outside school and offer a wide range of extra-curricular activities throughout the year.  

National Curriculum

 At Mount Pleasant we follow the National Curriculum programme of study for key stages 1 and 2.

  • Develop competence to excel in a broad range of physical activities
  • Are physically active for sustained periods of time 
  • Engage in competitive sports and activities
  • Lead healthy, active lives
