Physical Education and Sport
Our Curriculum
At Guiseley Primary School, we recognise the role that physical education (P.E.) has to play in promoting a long term healthy and active lifestyle. We aim to provide a high-quality P.E. curriculum that inspires all our pupils to succeed regardless of their starting points or their prior experiences of sport and physical activity. Because of this, our physical education offer aims to develop pupils’ physical competence and confidence as well as to enhance their health and well-being.
In addition, we aim to provide opportunities for children to participate and compete in physical activities to build resilience and embed values such as team work, fairness, inclusivity and respect. These values link to our school RAINBOW code, which lies at the heart of our school.
We recognise that participation in physical activity and sport can help to improve a huge range of social skills, and allows children to become critical thinkers and self-managers. For these reasons, we encourage attendance at festivals, competitions, extracurricular clubs, sports camps/trials and our annual Year 6 residential as well as taking part in the daily structured activities, which run during lunchtimes.
We have Sports Leaders in school, which is a role that brings great responsibility and enjoyment. It is a role in which the older children are able to become role models within the school as well as develop their basic coaching skills in a range of sports.
Our Sports Leaders support the lunchtime team by ensuring that playground games and activities are set up every lunchtime and encourage other children to play co-operatively. They meet throughout the year, to look at how activities and sports can be improved across school.
The children play an invaluable role in encouraging others to try new games and sports and to feel that they belong in our school family.
Being part of the local community is important to us and we have good links with local clubs such as Guiseley Community Foundation, Leeds Rhinos, Guiseley Rangers, Guiseley Juniors, Airienteers and Skyrac athletic club.
We are extremely proud to have been awarded the Platinum Sports Mark in July 2024, following five consecutive years of maintaining Gold Sports Mark Standard.
Miss Adair and Mrs Clarke are the P.E leaders in school.
