At Burstow, we provide an engaging and inclusive PE curriculum that encourages every child to develop a lifelong love of physical activity and sport. Through a wide range of activities, we help children develop physical activity skills for sustained periods, promoting teamwork, competitive sports, and resilience. By fostering confidence in their physical abilities, we aim to develop the fundamental skills that enable pupils to excel in a variety of sports and physical activities, while promoting a sense of achievement and enjoyment.  

Our approach ensures children understand the importance of healthy, active lifestyles and physical well-being, while also learning the values of respect, fair play, and teamwork. Whether working individually or collaboratively, children are encouraged to set personal goals, reflect on their progress, and develop resilience, preparing them for future physical challenges both inside and outside of school. By the time they leave Burstow, every child will have the physical and social skills needed to thrive in sports and lead an active, healthy life, grounded in the values of respect, curiosity, trust, and love. 

The Government provides additional funding to improve the provision of physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools. We are committed to using this resource to develop high quality PE lessons, alongside greater opportunities for sporting competitions and clubs for all our pupils. 

Our main targets in school are: 

To increase the engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity 

To increase the confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and sport 

To offer a broader experience of a range of sports and activities 

To increase the school's participation in competitive sport
