The objectives of teaching PE at St Anthony’s are:
- To enable pupils to develop and explore physical skills with increasing control and coordination.
- To encourage pupils to work and play with others in a range of group situations.
- To develop the way pupils perform skills, and apply rules and conventions for different activities.
- To show pupils how to improve the quality and control of their performance.
- To teach pupils to recognise and describe how their bodies feel during exercise.
- To develop the pupil’s enjoyment of physical activity through creativity and imagination.
- To develop an understanding in pupils of how to succeed in a range of physical activities, and how to evaluate their own success.
Our principal aim is to develop the pupil’s knowledge, skills and understanding, and we do this through a mixture of whole-class teaching and individual or group activities.

Within lessons we give the pupils the opportunity both to collaborate and to compete with each other, and they have the opportunity to use a wide range of resources.
Swimming
Children have the opportunity to attend swimming lessons when they are in Year 4.
