“Sports teaches you character, it teaches you to play by the rules, it teaches you to know what it feels like to win and lose – it teaches you about life.” - Billie Jean King

Curriculum intent 

It is our intent at Buckland to teach children the physical knowledge and skills that will positively impact on their future. We aim to deliver high-quality teaching and learning that inspires all children to succeed in physical activities. We want to teach children how to cooperate and collaborate with others as part of a team, understanding fairness and equity of play to embed life-long values. Children will develop skilful use of the body and will be able to perform different actions confidently with increasing control, coordination and fluency. Children will have the opportunity to partake in physical activity both for personal enjoyment and competitively, alongside 2 hours PE in school per week.
