‘Wellbeing Provision’ at Long Whatton CE Primary School

Context… and the future

At Long Whatton CE Primary School we aim to support the development of the whole child. Being able to make healthy life choices and to enjoy the benefits of being fit, help to underpin success in many areas of adult life. The school has an established tradition of providing a wide range of challenging and engaging activities, both in and out of school, that help to switch youngsters on to being active. We encourage our children to try new things, to take a risk and to understand the benefits and rewards of physical effort. We also teach our children that competition is important, and that in life there are times when you must compete. Our children learn to win and lose with grace, and to appreciate the achievements of others.

With additional funding provided, we can enhance core PE provision through the use of coaches, but more importantly we can strengthen and broaden the range of outdoor and extra-curricular challenges and experiences. Links with the local climbing wall have already been established and it is the intention that children will become engaged in such sports as a result of enjoying school time sessions as part of their PE programme. We can also ensure that our newly developed forest becomes an outstanding setting for learning, and that we offer an engaging Forest School Programme not just to our own, but to children in schools without such exciting facilities.

We also intend to enhance our broad range of residential experiences. Children from Year 2 onwards already take part in highly active residential visits. We aim to broaden our Junior Hillwalking Course, (run by ourselves in the Peak District) to involve children from partner schools, and tailor courses at specific groups, such as higher attainers,less confident children and those with poor social development, with the aim of supportingtheir broader learning through success in outdoor activities and challenges.
