Introduction

Downshall follow the national curriculum and adapt the planning and implementation to achieve the needs of the relevant cohort each year.

Using the four cornerstones pedagogy, first quality teaching ensures that the key skills and knowledge are taught memorably to enable learning to be transferred to long term memory.

Subject Drivers

At Downshall, we strive to instil in our children that being active and keeping fit is an important part of wellbeing while also increasing their understanding of what it means to be a successful sportsperson.

Furthermore, the core subject aspects are taught specifically and are revisited regularly so that the children understand the essence of the subject. In PE, the core aspects include fairness, teamwork and competition.

Enrichments

Every child matters in PE which is why we take our SEN pupils to a panathlon event which develops their motor skills and social development with competitive activities including throwing, kicking and catching. The school also has numerous sports teams; including girls & boys football and tag rugby that compete at local tournaments against other schools and gives the children a positive experience of participating in sport at a more competitive level amongst their peers across the Redbridge Borough. Additionally, a number of children were able to attend a professional basketball match at the Copper Box Arena.
