Overview 
We want children at Thurnby Mead to be confident in their own physical abilities and be able compete in sports activities.
We want to provide children with the skills and knowledge to ready them for their next stage of education.
We want our children to be aware of the importance of physical fitness and the long lasting impact this can have on them.
As of this academic year, PE is taught by our teachers. We follow the Real Pe scheme of work. This is mapped out in a considered and thoughtful way to ensure our children get a breadth of PE skills.
Additionally, Children in year 4 and 5 go swimming in the summer term.
Children receive at least one hour of taught physical education a week, which is then supplemented with Play Leaders during break and lunch times.

We also offer a range of after school clubs based on sports which is promoting of love of moving and activity.

 Enrichment we offer at Thurnby Mead:
· Moving together dance troupe from the Spring Term
· Football (girls &  boys)  tournaments throughout the year
· Afterschool football club throughout the year

· Play Leaders organise additional games during break times
