PE Intent

At Bottesford, we are athletes! We want all children to experience PE learning that is positive and motivating. We want our pupils to have the opportunity to succeed and excel in competitive sport and physical activities. We will create a positive and engaging learning environment that motivates students to explore different physical activities. By providing a strong foundation in physical education, we will help our pupils to develop the skills and confidence they need to succeed in life. Through our focused curriculum we hope to instil a love for physical activity that will fuel their health and happiness for years to come.
