Physical Education (PE)
 
Our PE curriculum incorporates PESSPA. This stands for physical education, school sport and physical activity and includes PE lessons, school games events and competitions, sport leadership, extra-curricular clubs and enrichment.

Physical Education Provision at Cubert School

At Cubert School, we believe physical education (PE) is key to helping every child grow in confidence, fitness, and enjoyment of physical activity. Aligned directly with the National Curriculum, our high-quality PE provision ensures all pupils succeed in sports and physically demanding activities while supporting their overall health and wellbeing.

Key Skills & Physical Competence
Directly supporting the National Curriculum aim for pupils to develop competence across a broad range of physical activities, our curriculum teaches fundamental movement skills and sports techniques. Pupils become physically confident and adept at tackling a wide range of sports and complex physical challenges.

Competitive Sport & Life Skills
In line with National Curriculum statutory objectives to engage pupils in competitive sports and embed core values, Cubert pupils participate in competitive games and inclusive activities. Through these opportunities, students build essential character traits and life skills—including teamwork, resilience, fairness, and respect—celebrating our school values in action.

Sustained Physical Activity
Fulfilling the National Curriculum requirement for pupils to be physically active for extended periods of time, our structured PE lessons and active school day encourage continuous engagement, building cardiovascular fitness, stamina, and energy.

Healthy, Active Lifestyles
Reflecting the National Curriculum’s overarching goal to help pupils lead healthy, active lives, we teach children to understand the importance of regular exercise and making healthy lifestyle choices that benefit their physical and mental wellbeing both now and in the future.

Through this National Curriculum-driven provision, Cubert School empowers every pupil to achieve, excel, and thrive.
