PE and Sport

At Chaddesley Corbett we strongly believe in the link between healthy bodies and healthy minds and are aware of the positive contribution PE and Sport can play in the all round development of the pupils. Our aim is to make children into life long lovers of physical activity and go on to participate in sports in their adult lives.
PE plays a key role in teaching children about code of conduct, etiquette, applauding the opposition, fair play, unwritten rules and sportsmanship. Children should abide by the rules and regulations, gaining a good understanding of rules of sport and the importance of infringements such as penalties and red cards allow students to understand the consequences of their actions which in turn helps students apply this understanding to their own lives.
Children are taught that to achieve and benefit from sport , you need to work hard, set targets and and apply yourself. PE offers many opportunities that support the social development of our children. Clubs allow different cohorts of children to work together and give them the chance to develop respect for the abilities of other children through collaborative and co-operative work, while gaining a better understanding of themselves.

Our curriculum is broad, balanced and up to date and it is designed to enable pupils to become physically literate as they leave Chaddesley Corbett. Pupils develop their fundamental movement skills in the early years (locomotion, stability and object control) and as they grow they combine these skills into complex movements before applying these skills into sport specific areas as they reach year 5/6.

There are numerous opportunities for pupils to represent their house at over different sports throughout the year as well as participating in leadership opportunities and attending festivals and competitions.

The school has links with a number of local sports clubs and we often have coaches in to provide the pupils with different experiences including cricket, dance and football.

Children experience gymnastics, dance, sports and outdoor education activities. These involve pupils in developing both individual and team skills. Through this they develop confidence, enjoyment trust and respect.

Through our engagement with the Wyre Forest Schools' Sports Partnership, children are able to take part in a range of inter-school sports and festivals. We have participated in swimming, hockey, cross-country, football, dodgeball, rugby and tennis festivals.

OUR SCHOOL GAMES AWARD!!
The School Games Mark is a government led awards scheme launched in 2012 to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community. Participating in this process allows schools to evaluate their PE provision and assists them in developing an action plan for future progress! Schools in England are able to assess themselves across bronze, silver and gold levels of the mark. Last year we achieved the Gold award for the second year running. We are really pleased with our award and are putting the steps in place, in order to maintain this high standard.
