Overarching Intent
The Core PE curriculum at St. Wilfrid’s aims to allow pupils to maximise their God given potential in a range of activities and sports which allow pupils to be physically active with the aim of developing performance of key skills and attributes. Our curriculum allows pupils to progress in a supportive Catholic environment which aims to promote lifelong participation and inspires individuals to perform, succeed and excel in a competitive environment.
