Get Set 4 PE
At Whitehouse, we ensure that our PE provision is progressive (through structured, rigorous planning and delivery) and effective (though clear assessments and monitoring of staff and children).
Our PE curriculum ‘GetSet4PE’ provides an effective and efficient form of assessment in which children can be assessed against each individual aspect of PE they are undertaking within the term. ‘GetSet4PE’ allows for individual comments to be added to the children if they are excelling or struggling with a particular aspect of PE. ‘GetSet4PE’ allows for after school clubs to be recorded as well as competitions that have been attended which allows for us to easily recognise and calculate the number of active children within the school.
Our School Games Mark awarding of a ‘Gold’ ranking is continually maintained by applying on an annual basis to verify the quality and breadth of the provision we offer.
An indication of our commitment to school sports can be seen in the values our pupils demonstrate at community, competitive events where they not only triumph in winning medals and trophies but also model our core school growth mindset values such as, perseverance, determination, teamwork and resilience. This can also be seen throughout our School Games Day where pupils enjoy supporting one another, leading activities and officiating the day.
