KS1 & KS2 physical education curriculum

Pupils will utilise key subject knowledge through a language-based stimuli with opportunities to create and interpret movement in a literal or abstract manner, making concrete connections between other curriculum areas. Pupils apply placement, alignment, extension and focus to performance, demonstrating refinement of balance, control, coordination and personal style. Collaboration supports a wider movement vocabulary and range of ideas leading to the development of methods and aesthetic sensibilities. Pupils offer justification and interpretations of their choreography.
