How do we teach PE at Nova?
Enjoying sports and exercise is something that we hope all children get from their time at Nova Primary School. It is an area of the curriculum that helps keep them healthy throughout their lives and supports their development of teamwork and communication in a fun way, making them a lifelong Athlete.
All children participate in two hours of PE lessons each week. The medium-term planning document indicates the activities that children are involved in during each term. One lesson is taught by sports coaches (Progressive Sports -PPA cover) while the other is taught by class teachers using their knowledge of their pupil’s abilities and GETSET4PE planning.
