EYFS, KS1 and KS2 PE
PE resources for EYFS, KS1 and KS2
PE looks different at each stage of primary school. PE Pulse helps schools keep that journey joined up while still respecting what younger and older pupils need.
The challenge
Whole-school PE still needs age-appropriate detail
EYFS pupils need movement confidence and exploration. KS1 pupils need fundamental movement, simple games and coordination. KS2 pupils need broader skill development, teamwork, tactics and more structured assessment.
The challenge is keeping those stages connected so PE feels coherent across the school rather than separate sets of activities.
How PE Pulse helps
Support that follows the primary school journey
PE Pulse helps schools organise PE across phases while keeping lesson delivery practical for teachers.
EYFS foundations
Activities support early movement confidence, coordination, balance, spatial awareness and enjoyment.
KS1 fundamentals
Lessons build core movement skills, simple games, control, cooperation and confidence.
KS2 development
Older pupils can develop skills, tactics, teamwork and reflection across a broader range of activities.
Joined-up progression
Phase support connects back to the wider curriculum, progression maps and assessment approach.
In practice
A consistent structure with room for each phase
The same system can support different ages without making every year group feel the same. Teachers get practical lessons, and coordinators get a clearer view of how PE develops.
- ✓Age-appropriate lesson support across primary school.
- ✓A clearer route from early movement to more developed activity skills.
- ✓Support for teachers delivering PE outside their specialist area.
- ✓Curriculum and assessment links that keep the whole school approach coherent.

Questions schools often ask
Does PE Pulse support EYFS as well as KS1 and KS2?
Yes. PE Pulse is designed to support the full primary journey, including age-appropriate PE for EYFS, KS1 and KS2.
Why not treat every year group the same?
Pupils need different forms of support as they grow. PE should be joined up, but the activities and expectations need to suit the age and stage.
Can this help whole-school consistency?
Yes. A shared structure helps staff understand where each phase fits into the wider PE curriculum.
