Physical Education (PE)

Intent

At Hormead, we strive to create a natural home where all children flourish within the community, grounded in Christian values. Through our PE curriculum, we equip pupils with the knowledge and confidence to lead healthy, active lives, making informed choices about exercise, nutrition, and wellbeing. They will develop resilience, teamwork, and sportsmanship, enabling them to engage in a range of activities and competitive sports.

Beyond physical skills, our curriculum fosters an understanding of the links between health, fitness, and wellbeing while promoting positive role models in sport. PE plays a vital role across the curriculum, encouraging active learning and developing key social skills through competitions and experiences. We are committed to removing barriers to long-term participation so that all children feel included and valued.

We also provide sustainable opportunities for pupils to engage in local sport, supporting our wider focus on wellbeing through the Hertford and Ware School Sports Partnership. By participating in events, pupils strengthen their sense of belonging and community.

Through high-quality teaching and our PE scheme, we inspire a love of sport that extends beyond school. Our curriculum nurtures cooperation, fairness, and lifelong values, ensuring every child has the opportunity to thrive.

School Houses

At Hormead Primary School, we operate a house system. The houses are named after four elements; Fire, Wind, Earth and Water. Each of the houses is linked to a special story in the bible to bring a sense of belonging and pride for their house. Children represent their houses on Sports Day and other sporting/competitive events throughout the year. The Houses each have two House Captains who will help to run and organise the sporting events as well as support the children in their houses. 

Visitors showing Aspiration

We had a visit from Commonwealth Gold Medallist, Steve Frew! Steve talked to the children about his aspirations and  encouraged children to reach their full potential. Steve's top tip for life is 'to be all you can be.' The children loved hearing about Steve's journey to success and were in awe of his gymnastic skills. 

Ash Randall is one of the UK’s top Professional Football Freestylers, and he came to show us his skills. Ash talked to the whole school in a very inspiring assembly and then helped the children perform some skills of their own. The children were amazed to find Ash Randall's name in the Guinness World of Records!
