Physical activity at Perran-ar-Worthal offers a wide selection of traditional sports as well as some slightly alternative sports too. Children develop a wide variety of skills in order to play games during their PE lessons based on the progression of learning from Complete PE; this begins in the foundation stage with using games to consolidate fundamental movement skills and developing these throughout KS1. Children of all confidence levels feel successful throughout PE sessions. In order to build their confidence in competing against other schools, we work closely with the Penryn partnership which offers a wide range of competitive and non-competitive sporting opportunities. Children have access to many after school sporting clubs such as cross country, football with Plymouth Argyle, girl's football, netball, hockey and basketball.
Playtimes include a termly timetable of games that children can choose from. We believe it is vital for children to be empowered with the knowledge to look after not only their physical health but also their mental well-being and their nutritional understanding. As a result, all children in KS2 have brief learning sessions prior to their PE lessons, to enhance their understanding in these areas.
Children can also contribute their ideas and suggestions on improving Perran-ar-Worthal's PE offer during their Pupil Voice sessions.
