What does PE look like at HCPS?

At Holmes Chapel Primary School, all children take part in two hours of PE every week and are taught through the National Curriculum Programme of Study. This consists of one outdoor and one indoor session (potentially two outdoor in Summer 2 to allow Year 6 to practise their performance). Our long-term plan sets out the PE units which are taught each term. We work closely as a team to ensure that the requirements of the National Curriculum are met. At HCPS, our curriculum is designed using the PE Passport App.
