Physical Education

Through PE we embed our school values of togetherness, resilience, love, kindness and wisdom, through our focus on team skills, pupil led activities and the idea that to learn effectively children must learn from their mistakes. We encourage children to develop their language around different sports, dances, and skills to allow them to have a rich vocabulary within the subject area which encourages them to explain what they have learned and develop their confidence in speaking publicly. We aim to introduce children to a wide array of activities and sports from different disciplines and backgrounds enabling them to have a range of different experiences and focus on key sportspersons to draw motivation from.

At Hempnall Primary School, we utilise the School Sports Partnership (SSP) to give our Year 1-6 pupils the opportunity participate in a range of competitive and engaging sporting events such as cross-country, football, basketball, cricket, rugby, hockey, dance and dodgeball. These events are a brilliant experience for our pupils who get to experience sport in a variety of excellent sporting facilities such as the UEA Sportspark, Langley School, Wymondham Rugby Club and Harleston Magpies Hockey Club. As a school we strive to have as many pupils as possible experience these events to encourage a passion for sport and physical activity.
