Physical Education

and the new National

Curriculum

What is changing in the PE curriculum?

• Minimal guidance- flexibility and creativity

• More emphasis on sustained activity

• More emphasis on competition

• The sports listed are suggested rather than compulsory.

• Dance and Gymnastics are also ‘suggested’.

Our vision at Longfield is for every child to experience a

variety of sports and physical activities that

inspire and motivate so that physical activity is enjoyed

and embedded in their healthy lifestyle.

Next steps for PE•High Expectations of pupils
