We break our delivery into clear, purposeful components. A typical lesson may include:

1) Introduction

Revisiting previous learning outcomes is a key part of setting the tone for the lesson and reinforcing prior knowledge. We introduce new objectives using clear language such as “We are learning to…” and “What I’m looking for…”, ensuring expectations are understood and the learning environment is purposeful from the outset.

2) Warm-Up

Children learn the importance of preparing the body for physical activity and understand the physiological adaptations that occur during exercise. We explicitly teach key terminology and demonstrate how to conduct an effective warm-up, including how the body responds and adapts.

3) Athletic Development

With national health concerns on the rise, building strong physical foundations is essential. Through engaging, aerobic-based activities, we promote a positive association with movement while developing core athletic skills such as balance, coordination, agility, and speed.

4) Double Skill Block

Breaking down skills into smaller components is fundamental to effective learning. Focused practice allows children to develop the technical aspects required to perform skills successfully. Activities are differentiated to ensure appropriate challenge and progression for every child.

5) Game-Based Application

Enjoyment is central to fostering a lifelong love of movement. Lessons conclude with a game-based activity, allowing pupils to apply their newly developed skills in an open, dynamic environment that encourages decision-making and creativity.

6) Plenary

We consolidate learning through reflective questioning and discussion. This ensures pupils demonstrate progress, retain key knowledge, and think critically about their development. Highlighting what is coming next also builds anticipation and excitement for future lessons.
