At Avanti House Primary School, Physical Education plays an important part in the physical, mental and social development of the child. All children are given the opportunity to participate in a broad, balanced programme to develop key skills, in line with National Curriculum requirements. The emphasis is on giving each child an opportunity to experience enjoyment and success at their own level as well as developing life skills and values such as co-operation, responsibility and resilience. We aim to establish an ethos where respect is demonstrated, fairness is at the forefront of participation and teamwork is celebrated whilst always nurturing a positive sense of self from keeping active and healthy which will be sustained throughout their lives.

AHPS PE Intent Implementation and Impact
Inter-House Activities/Competitions
This academic year we have started bi-monthly inter-house activities/competitions where pupils from the same year group compete against each other in various activities at lunchtime to gain house points – we are flaming the competitive spirit in a fun, respectful and friendly way!
Year 4 took part in some indoor relay races and hurdle races during lunchtime.
Early Morning Run
During our soft start, different house teams get to go for an early morning run/jog or a brisk walk before registration, around our school playground.
