Physical Education at Morpeth All Saints

At Morpeth All Saints, Physical Education is at the heart of school life. We are incredibly proud to have achieved the Platinum School Games Mark, recognising our commitment to high-quality PE, school sport and competition across the academic year. This prestigious award reflects the dedication of our pupils, staff and wider community in promoting active, healthy lifestyles for all.

Our PE curriculum is carefully sequenced to ensure children develop fundamental skills a lifelong love of physical activity.

Pupils experience a broad and balanced range of topics across the year:

  • Autumn 1: Fundamental Movements (EYFS/KS1) and Multi-skills (KS2), alongside Martial Arts
  • Autumn 2: Dance, including specialist sessions delivered by CAST
  • Spring 1: Gymnastics
  • Spring 2: Invasion Games

Swimming is provided for Key Stage 2 classes, ensuring children develop water confidence and essential life-saving skills

We work closely with our School Sports Partnership (SSP), with structured timetables ensuring every class receives high-quality teaching both indoors and outdoors throughout the year

Beyond curriculum lessons, competitive sport and enrichment opportunities are a real strength. Children regularly take part in inter-school competitions, festivals and friendly fixtures, representing Morpeth All Saints with pride, determination and outstanding sportsmanship. Our inclusive approach ensures that all pupils – regardless of ability – have the opportunity to participate, compete and succeed.

Through PE and sport, we aim to:

  • Develop confident, competent movers
  • Build resilience, teamwork and leadership skills
  • Encourage healthy lifestyles and positive wellbeing
  • Foster enjoyment and lifelong participation in physical activity

Sport plays a significant role in our school culture, and achieving the Platinum School Games Mark highlights the strength of this provision. At Morpeth All Saints, we believe every child should feel proud to be active, proud to represent their school and proud of what they can achieve.
