As evidence shows, SEND pupils experience a lower level of physical activity in general. It is vital that our PE curriculum offers quality teaching, enriched with opportunities for pupils to be as active as possible during the school day.  With reference to the education inspection framework, the Newman PE curriculum greatly contributes towards pupils' personal development. In school, a main focus is PFA. PE strongly supports the development and opportunity to experience two out of the four areas: good health and friends, relationships & community. The curriculum aims to improve the confidence and self-esteem of all pupils as well as their physical health and mental wellbeing. During their PE journey at Newman pupils will be given the opportunity and support to:

• Develop motor competence to excel in a broad range of physical activities.
• Participate in physical activity for sustained periods of time relevant to their ability.
• Engage in competitive sports and activities.
• Lead healthy, active lives.
