PE Curriculum Intent
For all children to be given the opportunity and experience of enjoying a broad range of high quality physical activity.
Our aim is to inspire all children and for each child to fulfil their potential.
The children’s experience of PE is positive and motivating whilst helping them to become physically confident and develop key life skills. This supports their health, wellbeing and fitness and provides the foundations for lifelong activity.
Our PE curriculum is designed to promote the schools key drivers of Resilience, Ambition, Locality, Vocabulary and Diversity.
The PE curriculum we follow has been created by PE subject leaders and the specialist teachers at Powell’s
P.E & Performing Arts at Powells
At Powell’s we encourage all children to be physically active as part of their everyday lifestyle; our aim is to make physical activity fun and enjoyable regardless of children’s physical abilities.
PE Curriculum
Every Year Group takes part in 2 hours of PE each week. We ensure our lessons have a key skill as the main lesson objective. These skills are broken down for each year group to ensure appropriate progression from Early Years up to Year 6.

School Games Mark
The School Games Mark is a government led awards scheme launched in 2012 to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community. Participating in this process allows us to evaluate our PE provision and assists us in developing an action plan for future progress.
Each School Games Mark application is divided into four sets of questions. They cover the following basic topics:
- Participation - how many young people at our school are being engaged in sporting activity?
- Competition - how many different sports are being played and how many competitions are being entered?
- Workforce - how many pupils are involved in leadership activities alongside taking part in competitions?
- Clubs - how many local links does our school have with clubs or establishments from the area?
Having previously been awarded Silver in 2013/14, Gold in 2016/17 and Gold in 2017/2018 we are very pleased to announce we have maintained our Gold Award for the curriculum year 2018/2019.
What is Sports Premium?
The government are providing £320million per annum of funding to allow schools to make considerable new investments into the improvement of PE provision following the 2012 Olympic Games. This funding is set aside and only available for use on sport and PE provision in school.
Details of how we intend to spend our Sports Premium can be found by clicking the links below.

Gymnastics; a club for children with additional needs and disabilities. Having formerly represented the South West in gymnastics competitions, Rachel works with all year groups from Year 1 to Year 6 for at least ten weeks of the year.

Performing Arts
In the summer term we have a celebration of music and performing arts in the wonderful Cirencester Bingham Hall. This is a fantastic opportunity for our children to experience performing on a stage. We hire lighting and sound engineers who lend the occasion a truly exciting and professional feel.
Children work on a dance and gymnastics routine for one whole term, which they then perform to parents.
