PE at Templars: Confident Movers, Team Players, Healthy Learners for Life.

At Templars, Physical Education is about far more than sport. Our curriculum is designed to build confident, capable and resilient young people who understand the importance of physical activity and carry a lifelong love of movement into their futures. Belonging, teamwork and character sit at the heart of everything we teach.

From the Early Years, children master the FUNdamentals—running, jumping, throwing, catching and moving with control. Lessons are joyful, active and inclusive, setting the foundation for every child to see themselves as a successful sportsperson.

In Key Stage 1, pupils strengthen these core skills and begin to work collaboratively, learning how to play fairly, communicate clearly and celebrate both success and challenge. They take part in competitions that build confidence, determination and respect for others.

By Key Stage 2, children progress to a wide range of sport-specific activities. They refine techniques, develop tactical awareness, and learn what it means to represent themselves, their team and their school with pride. Intra- and inter-school competitions across the city give pupils the chance to showcase their skills, perseverance and sportsmanship.

Our curriculum makes strong links with the wider themes pupils study, reflects the diversity of our community and helps children understand the values that underpin effective teamwork—respect, fairness, resilience and responsibility.

By the end of Year 6, pupils at Templars will:

• Demonstrate strong physical competence across a broad range of sports and activities.

• Work confidently as part of a team, showing leadership, communication and empathy.

• Understand how to stay healthy and active, and why physical activity matters for life.

• Show resilience, determination and pride in representing their school and community.

• Apply the values of fairness, respect and inclusivity in sport and beyond.

Our ambition is that every child leaves Templars not only as a skilled participant in physical activity, but as a confident, respectful and health-minded young citizen—ready to thrive in sport and in life.
