Rose Hill Primary School

"Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of
dynamic and creative intellectual activity" - John F Kennedy

All at Rose Hill Primary School are committed to the health and well-being of our pupils. As a staff, we understand how a broad and inclusive provision benefits individuals and the school in general; our approach to Physical Education focuses very much on the holistic child. We strive for excellence in performance whilst recognising every child’s achievements will be different. We also celebrate the creativity, commitment, leadership and analytical skills of our children, skills we look to develop through our curriculum and extra-curricular offer.

The Physical Education curriculum aims to inspire children to learn confidence, perseverance, team spirit and organisation. We believe that children must engage in a programme of P.E that encourages fitness, improves their strength, suppleness, stamina and teaches those rules of games and an understanding of how to perform to an audience. This allows pupils to gain a sense of achievement and develop positive attitudes towards themselves and others.
