Our new 2023/2024 playleaders
Congratulations to our Year 6 pupils gaining a sports recognition award for their participation in sports competitions and events during their time at Rattlesden.
We will really miss them!
National Sports Week
|
We had Evie Edwards, a paralympian Boccia player come and talk about her sporting journey to the whole school. She then took a Boccia session with Oak Class.

On Monday. Maple and Silver Birch had a street dance session (please do watch the video here) and on Friday, KS2 had a gold session.
Evie spoke about the importance of trying new sports so Rattlesden has embraced that this week!! |
In 2022 we won the Participation Award from the Schools Sports Partnership for participation. In 2023, we competed in the second highest number of sports competitions and in 2024, we were third.
Curriculum Intent
At Rattlesden Primary, we aim to provide a PE curriculum that pupils from Reception to Year 6 not only enjoy but also allows them to experience a range of activities that help them to develop their health, fitness and wellbeing. We intend to offer a high-quality physical education curriculum that inspires all pupils to enjoy and participate in sport and exercise, provide opportunities for pupils to become physically confident in a way which supports their health and fitness, provide opportunities to compete in sport and other activities, builds character and helps to embed values such as fairness and respect and develop teamwork skills.
The national curriculum for PE aims to ensure that all pupils:
Curriculum Implementation
Children are taught regularly by both teaching staff and a sports instructor from Reception to Year 6. The curriculum is further enhanced by participation in numerous sporting events with other schools in the area and after-school clubs. A Coach and play leaders supervises sports activities at lunchtime, including: football, hockey, basketball and netball.
We follow the guidelines set by the national curriculum to ensure we offer a range of PE activities that allow each child to feel challenged and offer opportunities to progress further.
EYFS
As part of the EYFS statutory framework pupils are taught:
Physical development - involves providing opportunities for young children to be active and interactive; and to develop their co-ordination, control, and movement. Children must also be helped to understand the importance of physical activity, and to make healthy choices in relation to food.
Moving and handling: children show good control and co-ordination in large and small movements. They move confidently in a range of ways, safely negotiating space. They handle equipment and tools effectively.
Health and self-care: children know the importance for good health of physical exercise, and a healthy diet, and talk about ways to keep healthy and safe.
Key stage 1
Pupils develop fundamental movement skills, become increasingly competent and confident and access a broad range of opportunities to extend their agility, balance and coordination, individually and with others. They are able to engage in competitive (both against self and against others) and co-operative physical activities, in a range of increasingly challenging situations. Pupils are taught to:
Key stage 2
Pupils continue to apply and develop a broader range of skills, learning how to use them in different ways and to link them to make actions and sequences of movement. They enjoy communicating, collaborating and competing with each other. They develop an understanding of how to improve in different physical activities and sports and learn how to evaluate and recognise their own success.
Pupils are taught to:
Swimming
Each year group in Key Stage 2 will attend swimming lessons for one term, usually in Year 4.
Curriculum Impact
By the end of each key stage, pupils are expected to know, apply and understand the matters, skills and processes specified in the relevant programme of study. Children will have taken part in a wide variety of sporting activities, both in and out of school and will have formed healthy habits to take on to the next chapter of their lives.

They are able to engage in competitive (both against self and against others) and co-operative physical activities, in a range of increasingly challenging situations. Pupils are taught to:
- master basic movements including running, jumping, throwing and catching, as well as developing balance, agility and co-ordination, and begin to apply these in a range of activities
- participate in team games, developing simple tactics for attacking and defending
- perform dances using simple movement patterns.
Key stage 2
Pupils continue to apply and develop a broader range of skills, learning how to use them in different ways and to link them to make actions and sequences of movement. They enjoy communicating, collaborating and competing with each other. They develop an understanding of how to improve in different physical activities and sports and learn how to evaluate and recognise their own success.
Pupils are taught to:
- use running, jumping, throwing and catching in isolation and in combination
- play competitive games, modified where appropriate [for example, badminton, basketball, cricket, football, hockey, netball, rounders and tennis], and apply basic principles suitable for attacking and defending
- develop flexibility, strength, technique, control and balance [for example, through athletics and gymnastics]
- perform dances using a range of movement patterns
- take part in outdoor and adventurous activity challenges both individually and within a team
- compare their performances with previous ones and demonstrate improvement to achieve their personal best.
Swimming
Each year group in Key Stage 2 will attend swimming lessons for one term, usually in Year 4.

We use the Pavilion to extend our PE provision for events such as cross-country, rounders tournaments and sports day!
