KS1 & KS2 PE Progression

At St Thomas More, progression in PE across Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 is carefully planned to develop pupils’ physical skills, confidence, and enjoyment of sport and physical activity. In KS1, children begin by mastering fundamental movement skills such as running, jumping, throwing, and catching, while also learning basic rules, teamwork, and spatial awareness. As pupils move into KS2, they build on these foundations by applying their skills in more complex games, competitive sports, dance, and gymnastics. Lessons are designed to promote resilience, cooperation, and a healthy, active lifestyle. Progress is continually assessed to ensure that each child is supported and challenged appropriately, with opportunities for leadership and personal development embedded throughout the curriculum.
