“When you fall, get right back up. Just keep going, keep pushing it.” – Lindsey Vonn, skier
Our purpose of study for PE
Our school aims to inspire all children to develop a love of physical activity and sport. Through good physical education, whole school values and a whole child approach, we aim to nurture confident, resilient children who will strive for their personal best.
Our curriculum aims for PE
Through a balance of individual, paired and group activities, we aim to facilitate a love of PE for each child. We believe that through the variety of opportunities that PE and Sport can offer, children can develop a sense of personal achievement, fair play, teamwork and an understanding that sport can transcend social and cultural boundaries.
We aim to ensure that our delivery of physical education allows all children to have the skills and mindset to leave primary school with the capabilities to be successful in their sporting challenges and active lifestyles at secondary school and beyond.
Our content for PE
We strive to educate both our children and families to develop a greater understanding on how to live healthy lifestyles and make healthy choices. We are dedicated to ensuring healthy minds, as well as bodies and will continue to support our children’s well-being. We have strong links with local clubs and partnerships within our community to ensure the children and families receive the support and knowledge they need.
We listen to our children’s wants and needs and provide them with a range of active experiences and clubs. We want to aid our children in obtaining the values and skills to celebrate and respect the success of others, as well as modestly celebrating their own successes.
We are delighted to announce that Little Paxton Primary School, has achieved the School Games Silver Mark Award for the 2022/23 academic year.
The School Games Mark is a Government-led award scheme launched in 2012, facilitated by the Youth Sport Trust to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community, and we are delighted to have been recognised for our success.
Some of our sporting achievements this year include:

- All children competed in the first Little Paxton Primary School cross-country event.
- Year 5 & 6 children competed in an inter-school rounders competition.
- The school has offered more sports clubs than ever before, with clubs now taking place every day of the school week.
With so many young people competing in local inter-school competitions this year, we are extremely proud of our pupils for their dedication to all aspects of school sport, including those young volunteers, leaders and officials who made our competitions possible.
As part of our application, we were asked to fulfil criteria in the areas of participation, competition, workforce and clubs, and we are pleased that the hard work of everyone at our school has been rewarded this year.
We look forward to applying once again in 2024!
