At Smeeth Community Primary School, all children receive two hourly curriculum sessions per week, dedicated to physical activity through both Games and PE lessons.  We believe that PE and Games contribute to the development of young people. As well as improving fitness and health by participating in sport, children learn key values of teamwork, perseverance, respect for others and fair play.  This can be done through the participation of lessons, after school activities and competitions, both in and out of school.

We also aim to use the investment to find sustainable solutions. We believe in investing first and foremost in existing teaching staff and ensuring that staff are developed professionally.  This therefore means a significant investment in teacher support which will be provided by a PE specialist, who places emphasis on supporting teachers in their own CPD. This will ensure that when the funding ends, the quality of teaching and learning will be sustained.
