Intent

Barlby Primary School aims to inspire all children to develop a lifelong love of physical activity and sport. Through high-quality physical education, strong whole-school values and a whole-child approach, we nurture confident, determined and resilient pupils who strive for their personal best.

At Barlby, we listen to our children’s voices and provide a wide range of inclusive sporting opportunities, including enrichment activities and extra-curricular clubs. We aim to equip pupils with the values and skills to celebrate and respect the achievements of others, while also taking pride in their own successes with humility.

We ensure that our PE curriculum develops the knowledge, skills and attitudes pupils need to leave primary school physically literate and ready to thrive in sporting challenges and active lifestyles at secondary school and beyond.

We also work in partnership with families to promote healthy lifestyles and informed choices. We are committed to supporting both healthy bodies and healthy minds, and to prioritising the wellbeing of all our pupils.
