The National Curriculum for P.E. aims to ensure that all pupils:
Develop competence to excel in a broad range of physical activities;

The aim of P.E is to provide stimulating, enjoyable and appropriately challenging learning experiences. To support excellence in P.E through promoting healthy lifestyles, engaging in competitive activities and developing determination to excel in a broad range of activities.
