At Golborne Community Primary School, we have developed our own, bespoke sequenced and progressive curriculum for P.E, tailored specifically to meet the needs of our pupils. It is fully aligned with the National Curriculum and shaped by our ambitions and the key knowledge we believe to be the most essential.
While the full curriculum documentation is not published online, it is available to review on request at the school.
