Physical Education at Portsdown Primary

School and Early Years

 'Our vision is for every child to love learning, be compassionate and achieve now and in the future. Working together with our communities, we will give our children roots to grow and wings to fly' 

At Portsdown Primary School and Early Years, Physical Education (P.E) is an integral part of our curriculum that is inclusive and engages all pupils, in a supportive and challenging environment. In P.E, children learn to build confidence, challenge themselves and work as a team. This enables children to cooperate and collaborate effectively, compete appropriately against others, adhere to principles of fairness, show sportmanship and respect, values we hope to embed for future life. We aim to nurture confident, resilient children who strive to achieve their potential through a wealth of competitive experiences and performances. Portsdown Primary School works in partnership with Portsmouth in the Community, our partner of choice, to provide all children the opportunity to participate, grow and develop their physical activity. Pupils have the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of sports, dance and gymnastics within their taught lessons, lunch time and after school activities.

We aim to deliver high-quality teaching and learning opportunities which enable all children to succeed, give their best efforts at all times, achieve their potential and personal best. We aspire for children to acquire, develop and refine their practical skills and techniques; to further their knowledge and understanding of PE concepts and principles and develop their overall competence, to enjoy and excel in, our wide range of sporting opportunities.

At Portsdown Primary School we understand the importance that PE, School Sport and physical activity has on children's general health, fitness and wellbeing. We provide opportunities for all children to be physically active for sustained periods of time and across the school day. We also teach children the importance of leading healthy lives and making informed lifestyle decisions. 

Portsdown Primary Dance Club

The children have been working very hard over the last few weeks learning and performing a new set of dance routines based upon the book 'The page master' where fantastic creatures arise from the pages of what seems an ordinary book....
