Learning Together

PE Curriculum Map

In Mellor St Mary CE Primary School, we value the importance of physical education to keep all our pupils physically and mentally fit. We do this through the use of the Lancashire PE progressive and sequential scheme for physical education. As part of our PE teaching and learning, we recognise that there are a range of fundamental movement skills, which all children need to develop in order to access the wider PE curriculum. These fundamental skills (FMS) are integrated into all our PE lessons and physical exercise enrichment activities. Please see the grid below for further details.
