At Hethersett Primary, we strive to create a culture which aims to inspire an active generation to enjoy PE, encourage each other and achieve. We provide a safe and supportive environment for children to flourish in a range of different physical activities which is essential in supporting their physical, emotional, spiritual, social and moral development. 

At Hethersett Primary, we offer a dynamic, varied and stimulating program of activity (including within after school clubs) to ensure that all children progress physically through an inspirational, unique and fully inclusive PE curriculum. We encourage all children to develop their understanding of the way in which they can use their body, equipment and apparatus safely, yet imaginatively, to achieve their personal goals. All children, have the opportunity, to enjoy being physically active, maintain a healthy lifestyle and through the medium of sport, increase their self-esteem. We aspire for children to adopt a positive mind-set and believe that anything can be achieved with determination and resilience. 

The aim of Physical Education is to promote physical activity and healthy lifestyles. Children are taught to observe and demonstrate the conventions of fair play, honest competition and good sporting behaviour as individual participants, team members and spectators. This will help to embed life-long values such as co-operation, collaboration and equity of play. 

We provide opportunities for children to learn how to stay safe by starting swimming lessons in Year 3 and continuing until children have become confident in the water, knowing how to keep safe and also meet the National Curriculum requirements of swimming 25m by the end of Year 6. 

Our PE Curriculum, along with PSHE and Science, teaches children about the importance of healthy living and learning about the need for good nutrition. At Hethersett Primary, we aim for children to develop the necessary knowledge and skills which will have a positive impact on their future by becoming physically active citizens to benefit their long-term health and well-being.
