Curriculum overview for PE Intent The Physical Education curriculum at Oakfield is designed to inspire in our pupils a desire to succeed and excel in a wide range of physical activity and competitive sport, leading to high levels of physical fitness and long-term engagement. Pupils are encouraged to practise and hone a wide variety of skills, which can be applied to different activities and situations, both individually and as part of a team. The importance of leading a healthy lifestyle underpins our curriculum; pupils learn the about need to eat sensibly and avoid smoking, drugs and alcohol. There are many opportunities for pupils to develop their ability to take the initiative and become young leaders; we encourage them to demonstrate resilience, perseverance and a positive growth mindset.
