PE & Physical Activity

We're thrilled to be awarded Highly Commended in the Outstanding Inclusive Practice category at the Youth Sport Trust Conference Awards 2025. This recognition is a fantastic achievement for our Unit, and we couldn't be prouder!

PE Curriculum

We provide a highly varied PE curriculum that aims to inspire children and foster a passion for physical activity.  

All our pupils receive weekly swimming lessons throughout the year.  We place high importance on learning swimming skills to ensure our pupils have the necessary skills to be safe in and around water.  In addition, our pupils also receive a weekly PE lesson.

Physical Activity

Our effort to support the physical literacy of all our pupils extends beyond the PE curriculum.  We aim to develop our pupils' physical engagement, health and skills, creating a physically healthy lifestyle that will equip them to lead healthier lives in the future.  Here are just some of the ways we promote physical activity...and all the active fun we have!

Daily Diet We provide a daily diet of planned physical activities.  Every week the children have the following sessions: mini circuits  read 'n' ride (using static pedals) half-termly activities - curling, boules, skipping, tri-golf, croquet and speed stacking!	Active Curriculum We strive to provide an active curriculum for our pupils.  We use Teach Active to bring energy to our Maths and English lessons.  Click the logo to take a look at our case study...
Active Breaks We have a highly engaging range of active breaks to use to re-energise and engage learners throughout the day.	Active Home We have lots of different activities to keep all our families active at home too.  Our 'Get Active...at Home' booklet has lots of fun active ideas that don't need any equipment.  Our 'Take PE Home Bag' is full to the brim with PE and play equipment to take home and play with for the week.  Our Family Active Challenges are set each half term with active prizes up for grabs!

PE LIFE SKILLS AWARD

The PE Life Skills Award allows us to recognise and celebrate pupils’ progress in the physical aspects of PE and also their social, cognitive and emotional development. The award helps pupils to value PE and develop a positive relationship with physical activity that will stay with them long into the future.

The award comprises the development of key life skills, including:

All our children are working towards achieving the Level 1 or Level 2 award.

The Youth Sport Trust selected The Beacon as a case study for our PE Life Skills work.
