Intent
At Shakespeare Primary School, we are passionate about inspiring our children to love living a balanced, active, and healthy lifestyle. We want our children to develop a deep knowledge of the subject along with a range of skills, enabling them to sustain and enjoy a positive, active lifestyle. We teach the key concepts and vocabulary through our Head Heart Hands model which includes key words such as ‘knowledge’, ‘understanding’, ‘rules’, ‘respect’, ‘communication’, ‘competition’, ‘health and fitness’. Each part of the Head, Heart, Hands model has six key components (Personal, Social, Cognitive, Creative, Applying Physical, Health and Fitness) which we discuss over a unit of work. Through teaching these concepts, we aim for all children at Shakespeare to develop a broad and balanced range of skills and a love of being active!
Aims
