Sports
Through participation in sport, children are encouraged to develop a growth mindset. This is the belief that they can improve and develop their abilities and talents through effort and by embracing new challenges.
At Woodlands Primary School, we use a high quality company called 'Qualitas Sport' to plan and deliver our PE curriculum.
Qualitas Sports have established themselves as a substantial provider of innovative sports games programmes, CPD provision and school clubs within the local area, working with more than 60 schools and 16,000 students over the academic year, and we have developed a reputation for delivering highly professional and personalised programmes created to inspire a passion for sport and physical activity.
Their expert sports coaches offer innovative, creative and engaging programmes tailored to each individual schools’ stated needs with the primary objective of making sport and general well-being an increasingly important part of the school curriculum, as well as ensuring that participation is enjoyable for all.
Bridging the Gap
“Education within Sport has to be more than one model. We work hard to develop New Innovative/PE Strategies and Schemes of work for children within our local community. It must enhance diversity and create expansive opportunities for all taking part. It also must be enriched with strong British values which are relevant to the world around us, and then this will… give more opportunity to the one evolving for our children and Qualitas Team”
