Qualitas Mission Statement

Our P.E. curriculum has been developed to provide teachers the necessary tools to deliver high quality P.E. sessions, with the aim of inspiring and developing children skills and knowledge. The scheme of work aims to make sessions fun and promote a love of learning of Physical activities that inspire pupils into a lifelong participation in sport and a healthy active lifestyle. It provides challenging sessions across Key Stage 2 covering a range of sports, games, gymnastics, athletics, dance, and outdoor adventurous activities.

The Qualitas Intent

The Qualitas aim is to provide a planned sequence of lessons that assist teachers of every ability and provides them the tools to meet the PE National Curriculum outcomes in a fun, safe and challenging manner. The scheme sets out a broad and progressive syllabus and meets the needs of children of all abilities across their Key Stage 1 journey. The scheme provides the opportunity for children to develop their skills and knowledge in a wide range of activities, along with promoting the importance of health and fitness as well as allowing them the chance to evaluate their own performance as well as their peers. Differentiation of activities in the scheme allow for children of all ability levels the opportunity to access the skills and activities and provides them the opportunity to shine. Our aim at Qualitas is to inspire pupils into a lifelong participation in sport and a healthy active lifestyle, along with providing a challenging experience that enables young children to experience success and enjoyment and promote the key values of teamwork, determination, honesty, respect leadership and self-belief.

The Qualitas Implementation

The Qualitas aim is to provide detailed lesson plans that provide the educator the skills and subject knowledge necessary to deliver high quality first teaching for all aspects of the P.E. National Curriculum. The carefully constructed scheme helps assist the educator in providing progression, challenges and helps the educator build on their background knowledge of a range of activities through a range of illustrations, technical vocabulary and guidance notes. The scheme allows flexibility for educators not to follow the scheme rigidly and to use their own skills to enhance the learning outcomes. The scheme encourages the education setting to follow the Government guidelines in providing at least 2 hours of quality PE for all children. In the Scheme it provides a consistency in the routines followed such as an introduction, warm up, skill development, cool down and chance to reflect through a plenary. It allows the opportunity for children to perform key P.E. objectives, in a safe and challenging manner, work individually, in pairs or as part of a team and receive constructive feedback throughout.

The Qualitas Impact

The Qualitas scheme is designed so that children receive a broad variety of physical activities with new schemes added to further enhance the provision. Progression across the key stage allows for children to be challenged at appropriate age-related activities throughout the scheme. The scheme allows for cross curriculum links to be applied in a range of topic areas such as maths, design and technology, science, computing and PSHE. Children will be immersed in specific physical education vocabulary to develop their overall understanding of P.E. year on year and help encourage them to ultimately create a higher level of understanding and engagement. The scheme will also look to promote a greater level of confidence in children’s own ability and encourage participation in extra-curricular activities and help them to showcase their own skills in internal and external sporting competitions.
