PE Progression Map 

Physical Education 

Our curriculum is designed to develop not only physical competence of agility, balance, and coordination but also the vital social and emotional skills of teamwork, resilience, and respect. 

We use physical activity to support mental health, social wellbeing, and to foster a lifelong commitment to a healthy, well-balanced lifestyle. 

Both Stoughton and Northmead utilise the Get Set 4 PE curriculum, ensuring a seamless transition in skills and terminology as children move through the schools. 

All children receive two PE lessons every week. The developing fundamental skills are applied through gymnastics, dance, games and athletics.

Children develop fundamental movement skills. We focus on mastering agility, balance, and coordination before moving into sport-specific skills.

From Intra-school dodgeball at Stoughton tp our Daily Mile (Year 6 Northmead) and competitive fixtures at Northmead, we provide opportunities for children to experience the joy of competition.
