Sports and PE

Sport at Blenheim: We at Blenheim Primary school believe that physical education is an essential part of a child’s educational development. We believe that positive participation in physical education will enable children to build self-esteem, teamwork, and positive attitudes. We feel that by offering a variety of physical activities at Blenheim it will inspire all children to develop a love of physical activity and sport. Through good physical education, whole school values and whole child approach, we aim to nurture confident, resilient children who will strive for their personal best with energy, creativity and a never give up attitude. We listen to our children’s wants and needs and provide them with a range of active learning opportunities before, during and after school. We want to aid our children in obtaining the values and skills to celebrate and respect the success of others as well as modesty celebrating their own successes, therefore they are also able to show respect, consideration and sensitivity to the belief of others. At Blenheim, our aim is to ensure that our delivery of physical education allows all children to have the skills and mind-set to leave primary school with the capabilities to be successful in their sporting challenges and active lifestyles at secondary school, then leading into lifelong sporting participation. We strive to educate both our children and families to develop a greater understanding on how to live healthy lifestyles and make healthy choices in a harmonious working environment, treating others how we expect them to treat us. Through their learning in health and physical education, the children will develop a positive and responsible attitude to their own physical, mental and emotional, social, and spiritual well-being. We aim to do this by working in partnership with both the PSHE and Science curriculum. As a school, we are dedicated to ensuring healthy minds, as well as bodies and will continue to support our children’s well-being to enable independent decision making to aim high and be the best they can be
