PHYSICAL EDUCATION

ALL PUPILS AT HIGHFIELD ENJOY 2 P.E. LESSONS EVERY WEEK.

WHAT IS PHYSICAL EDUCATION ?

Physical Education is a process of learning, the context being mainly physical. The purpose of this process is to develop specific skills, knowledge and understanding and to promote physical competence.

Different activities can contribute to that learning process and learning enables participation in sport. The focus is on the individual child and on the development of his or her competence, rather than on the activity. Physical Education is achieved through the combination of physical activity and the intellectual processes of making decisions, selecting, refining, judging, shaping, adjusting and adapting. Physical Education also involves the development of qualities such as commitment, enthusiasm, fairness, integrity and the concern for quality as well as success.
