At Tintagel, our vision for Physical Education is to inspire every child to become an active, confident and resilient member of the Tintagel Tribe. We believe that high-quality PE is fundamental to supporting both the body and the mind, nurturing children’s physical health while strengthening their emotional wellbeing, self-belief and sense of belonging.

Through our Learning Toolkit, our PE curriculum empowers children to develop the qualities they need to thrive both in sport and in life. We promote:

• Participation – encouraging every child to be active, involved and eager to give their best.
• Leadership – creating opportunities for pupils to guide, motivate and support others.
• Resilience – helping children embrace challenge and persevere when learning feels tough.
• Risk Taking – encouraging pupils to step outside their comfort zone and explore new physical experiences.
• Curiosity – enabling children to question, explore and understand how their bodies move and improve.
• Empathy – fostering teamwork, fairness and respect for others.
• Open-Mindedness – supporting children to value different abilities, approaches and perspectives.

To ensure all pupils receive a rich and progressive experience in PE, we use Complete PE to plan and deliver high-quality lessons. This provides a clear sequence of learning that builds on children’s prior knowledge and develops their physical abilities step by step. Our curriculum enables pupils to master fundamental skills, grow in confidence and develop the positive attitudes needed for lifelong participation in physical activity.

Ultimately, we aim to nurture learners who understand the importance of staying active, who recognise how movement supports their physical and mental wellbeing and who embody the spirit and values of the Tintagel Tribe both on and off the field.
