PE

At Heybridge Primary School we use the REAL PE and REAL Gym curriculum to teach physical education.Real PE and Gym here

Real PE and Gym develops physical literacy, emotional and thinking skills alongside fundamental movement skills. 

It is taught through a multi skills approach rather than a sport first approach. This is because many children have not yet developed the core fundamental movement skills required to apply them to a traditional sport such as football or netball. 

Real PE/Gym has two elements:

  • Multi Skills Cogs - Six different physical literacy, emotional and thinking skills. Each is the focus of one half term.
  • Fundamental Movement Skills (FUNS) - 12 core PE skills and 5 core Gym skills. The core skills are revisited, consolidated and developed progressively from Foundation Stage to Year 6.

The teaching and learning of each lesson has an objective from both. 

Foundation Stage and Year 1 children are taught both elements through active stories, games and songs. 

In Real Gym this thematic approach is used for all of KS1.

Real PE and Real Gym meet the aims of the national curriculum for physical education and ensures that all Heybridge children:

  • develop competence to excel in a broad range of physical activities
  • are physically active for sustained periods of time
  • engage in competitive sports and activities 
  • lead healthy, active lives
