Physical Education

At David Livingstone Academy, our pupils take part in a wide range of sports and activities during their weekly PE sessions. Our focus is developing key physical skills such as running, jumping, throwing, and catching, alongside improving balance, coordination, and agility. These core abilities are revisited regularly, allowing pupils to strengthen and enhance as they progress through the curriculum.

Through a wide variety of ball and invasion games, our pupils master positive communication, strategic play and celebrate one another’s team spirit. In our gymnastics and dance provision, creativity and self expression are showcased by all. Our PE curriculum is designed to support our pupils understanding of healthy living, and to foster a life long love of physical activity.

We ensure that we offer an inclusive PE curriculum, that considers pupils with sensory or physical difficulties. Task changes and adaptations are made to all activities to ensure that all learners participate fully. Vocabulary, as with all of our subjects, is explicitly taught.
